the first 885 # 2 female never took and was chopped today with definate shriveling and loss of luster. captan was applied on the cut with it 79 degrees and humid as hell at 6 a.m. today. pollinated a nice 5 lober on the 905 ailts right secondary with the 1446 eaton. will have another one on the secondary next to it tomorrow. all females that have room to grow in will get pollinated and the best 3 that take will get to do their thing and if one shows great promise then the other 2 will be culled. pollinated the 3rd one out on the 885 #1 plant with the 1446 eaton and it was a 4 lober. another 95 degree day today means out go the ice bottles, but no fan today with chances of thunderstorms while i am at work. i have the main tips of the 885 plants curving towards each other now that they have run out of room. this will give me 2 or 3 more tries on each main and that is it. with lower temps forecasted after wednesday, this will make for some better set odds. i have left the shade cloth up until after the 95 plus temps go away. this weather sucks for working outdoors in and when i get home, the last thing i feel like doing is continue to stay outside. weeds have got a hold in many areas in the patch and are too big to pull now and will be left alone to avoid disturbing the pumpkin root system. sooner or later, this heat has to give.
