Got the “B” genetics on this one for sure - some leaves r distorted due to wind or when I accidentally poked them as babies with my bamboo stick :( This is the 963 Johnson a day ago and vine nodes buried today. Can’t wait to see this plant a week from now or when the side vines start growing out into the lawn. Got about 150sq ft or a tad less to work with but it’s enough to grow big :) I got to thinking…. Depending on which plant produces a female first past 10ft I will grow the main likely onto the lawn as well, easier to manage there. Planter mainly was to ensure safety while young and protect from cold etc. Soil also warms up faster and way better drainage. Bottom has a screen like sheet stapled to it to keep the vole or whatever it was from digging up. I also have an ikea bed tent (dome tunnel shaped that I got for $10) that fits the planter box great to shade it. Will be moved to pumpkin when one takes.
