here is a lumpy-and-bumby-and maybe an early dill ring forming on- Ole' Crackey at 15 days at 40". like i said, pretty ugly looking pumpkin so far. with confidence, i will say Ole' Crackey is gonna get the chop unless Homer takes a crap on me. this culling decision will put me out of the state fair competition because Homer will only have 65 days to grow and i will not chop it off that early unless it completely has stopped growing. next year, i am starting my state fair plant even earlier, about march 15th. i am also going back to just 3 plants. 4 is a hand full and with my space it is too crowded. i am going to have more room in the patch by moving my fence on the north side out closer to the street by 15'. this will give my plenty of room for 3 big plants, along with room for big zac tomatoes and maybe some other giant veggies. Also Timmer will get more room in the patch to compete against me fairly with room for 3 nice sized plants also. his side is really cramped with his 3 plants right now and needs more room next year.
