The main vine Pumpkin has taken nicely and is very comparable to the side vine at DAP 8. I do not need two kins competing against one another. We have had 2-3" of rain in the past 4 days. The slope in my patch has kept the plant happy, healthy, and not swimming. I completely removed the father plant (1790 Holland) Thursday. It was 24 feet stump to tip along the main. So there will be no further pollinations. 3 Pumpkins are set on the remaining 2043 Clementz plant: The side vine big boy, The main vine, and one further out on the main not pictured. I sent off a tissue test last week to gauge nutrient availability/plant uptake. I should have those results back today. I will wait on fert application until then.
