Day 20 for the 789 Dixon, way behind Spambie and Richmond Dave, but well within my expectations for anything at 20 days. We’ve all been experiencing bugs this year in British Columbia like never before. I’m seeing bugs in the patch I’ve never seen before, and the whitfilies are passing by in swarms. We are across from the ocean, and quite ten have winds that keep them away, or blow them away in the evening.
Really nice weather in long term forecast, pump for watering system failed, new one being delivered this week. Will have to water 4 plants, by hand for the next few days.
1985 Miller plant aborted the first pollination just before day 20, and about 2 days prior to me cutting off a second pollination further out “the backup”. Whew, dodged a bullet there, I can’t remeber the past time a pumpkin did not get past the day 20 Mark in our patch. Usually after 10 days, I’m pretty confident that they are set and growing.
No backups on 789 Dixon, 1126 Dixon or 2032 Mathison...we are all in on these plants and pumpkins are just past the 10 day mark, set, shiney and growing.
