First pollination on the 899 got a fabric and sand bed, along with a wire mesh for protection. Rabbits got to the next fruit on the vine. 1047.5 with the fused stem/vine is looking a little sick. Skin getting the dimpled appearance like it is going to abort. Decision is made to keep the bee pollination on the 1200 Engel. The controlled pollination farther out just isn't growing. The 748 has splits on top of the main vine at just about every leaf node, and every leaf at a split has been trimmed off due to wilting. Other than that it looks healthy. I think we will just try to grow a bunch of smaller orange pumpkins on secondaries. Rabbits are still a problem, and there is a doe and pair of fawns hanging out around the garden.
