So I have been obsessing over my third AG, a 1157 Eddie Z. The first 7 blossoms I pollinated all aborted. I’m thinking, it’s genetic, plant is sterile. But then I get to thinking, maybe it’s low P. So I send a tissue sample & sure enough, P is low. I applied P through my driptape system & through foliar sprays. Suddenly I have pumpkins taking. I figure it is too late for a competitive giant but I just want to make sure I get something & it is likely that it will be a pretty orange. This pic is my 10 DAP fruit 45’ out on the main vine. It is from an asymmetric 4 lobe blossom which had some seeds in it.
