Everything is finally clicking with the 895 Nesbitt '02. Leaves and vines are large and healtiy. I have one set 3 DAP but there are more coming up that would seem to be good choices also. My only concern with the plant now is the shape of the pumpkin and the lack of color... I know it wont be orange. Best color this year I think will go as a tie to the 186 Radach and my own 263 Est. Clayton 2018. Best shape/ potential size award goes to the 982 Gadberry. Its a long jug shape AND has genes to go heavy. I was dissapointed with the shape at first but I can see merits to it. Looks like a glass milk jug. No color so maybe extra white? A paper white would be nice the father of it was one of the nicest white colored ones at the weigh off last year.
