Checked patch this morning and found a surprise. I looked at the female flower on the 1836 plant that was deformed. Out of the corner of my eye I looked at the next female flower. It looked like it was going to bloom tomorrow. I broke off the deformed female flower and took the plastic off it and set up the next female flower for a pollination tomorrow. When I was looking for a male flower from the 2002 plant, I found a female flower that was starting to grow at 7 feet on a secondary vine.
I checked on the 1526 plants and plant 1's female flower was still growing. I am torn between which plant I am going to pollinate it with. I can see crossing with a 2002 plant and ending up with a plant that grows slowly and produces a small pumpkin instead of a fast growing plant that grows a big pumpkin. With a 1836 pollination I would get a normal plant that could go heavy.
