the 842 eaton never really kicked in and has a very slender
stem. it is leggy, pale, and sickly looking and needed a
stick to keep it upright for a few days. i am trying to
keep it alive and letting it strengthen up some before
going into the ground. it has lost its spot in the
patch, and will go behind the garage to be used as a male
pollinator later down the road. i am even weary of using
it for pollination reasons due to its condition. i am
not certain if a half developed embryo seed that sprouts
into a slow growing sickly looking sprout will have
genetically potnent pollen. i will do some research on that
subject before i use its male flowers for pollination.
hopefully it will get stronger and be used strictly
for a genetics pumpkin and a male pollinator. the area
behind the garage gets full sun, but is narrow and long.
a semi-snake pattern will be used with mini 2' secondaries
to get some extra leaves on it. it can grow 25 long in
total.
