damn it was hot yesterday. had 2 pollinations both at 14' that i will be amazed if they take. it was 98 yesterday and 94 already today. the 885 #1 plant at 14' was pollinated with the 1225.4 jutras on 6-24 and was a nice 5 lober. the 885 #2 plant at 14' was self pollinated and also a nice 5 lober on 6-24. ice jugs were used and are still being used next to all 885 blossums pollinated this week.

Ole' Crackey is growing and might be one of the ugliest small pumpkins i have ever seen. its texture is all lumpy and its shape is more gourdish. it is 40" today at 2 p.m. on day 15 and is growing at a decent pace and should make 60" by day 20. down the line is Homer at 10 days old today and is 22.5 inches and looks smoother in texture and again long. i will have to make a decision soon on which to keep and cull. i will get some pics this afternoon.
