Early on, I had a hard time choosing between the 2493 and 2006 Wolf seeds. They were planted side by side and the 2006 was chosen when the two plants were over crowding the hoop and one had to go. The 2006's main vine was about a foot longer when decision time came. Another big beautiful orange pumpkin. 2365 Wolf sibbed. In case you were wondering about the stick forest in my plants. Reading Dave Stelts article in the SNEGPG newsletter, he stated he didn't bury his vines last season. This resulted in healthier plants that lasted well into the early fall. Like Dave, I have a heavy clay soil that is prone to causing disease issues. With the incredibly successful season he had, I thought this break from standard doctrine merited a try. I am lightly covering only the vine nodes. The sticks will have to stay in place until the vines are rooted down.
