pollinated a nice 5 lober on the 885 #1 plant with itself at 12' this morning. might have one on the 885# 2 plant tomorrow morning at 14' and this is the one i want to go with, but tomorrow will be 96 and i hope it takes. if not i have another at 17' which will open in cooler temps, and by that i mean the high 80s next week. Ole' Crackey is growing, not rapidly, but growing and is 31" on day 13 and has put on 10", in 3 days. it will need to start going at 4"-5" per day after day 15 to have a chance to reach 60" on day 20. Homer is 8 days old and is sitting at 17.5" on day 8, so it is growing at the same pace as Crackey. i will check progress on both kins and cull one sometime in the next 2 weeks. Timmers 1446 pumpkin is 10 days old today, self pollinated, and is 21.5", so it is on its way too. this is my favorite time of the year with early a.m. pollinations and measuring growth on developing pumpkins. the females on the 885 plants are nice and yellow with long stems. hoping for big things from these 2 plants, literally.
