Also, in addition to being two weeks behind and having weaker plants, only two out of four plants on my patch are on that level (the ones you can see here). The other two are so much weaker, not competitive at all any longer. Nonetheless, I will keep them. The 1092* will be kept as a pollinator for the 1007.5* and maybe for a little genetics fruit of the reverse cross, and the 1944 will be used as a genetics plant (planning to grow two tiny pumpkins on that plant, a 1944 x 2447.1 and a 1944 x 1908.1 (my kidsī plant), because I know (from the aggressive development of the 1944 plant before the frost) that its genetics could be awesome. (Planning for line-up in 2024, as you can see.)
Being down to just two moderately competitive plants now, because of a down in this pumpkin season, only two of the "names" can do it justice. 78 and 89 are running uphill, so the only appropriate "names" are 81 and 98.
