Well the summer solstice came with a bang today here is a picture of our 1,784 Stelts plant as you can see we had 2 to pollinate today. This is rare that I pollinate 2 in 1 day on separate leaf nodes but to have 3 in 3 days is really good especially when you factor in the time of year & feet on vine. We shoot for pollinations @ 16' or further by the summer solstice today was the biggest day ever for us as we pollinated 7 today on 6 plants (which made me late for work, oh well) This is record for us & now have good sets on 7 of 8 plants @ 15' - 21' from 6/15 till today with 6 plants having 2 or more good sets we feel pretty good about this just need to get the pumpkins to grow now. We also have half of our plants with the first to 3rd side vines terminated we have 35' X 35' for each plant so vine burying is maxed out as well so there is much work to get done no rest for a while.
