Here's the 300 Gerry. This picture has funny colour too because I also took it in gloomy, rainy conditions. But, it's coming along. It seems to be getting over some of the root damage from transplant and the vine is starting to get a bit longer. I can see the beginnings of flowers on their way. But, it's not looking like they'll be ready in time.
Ohhh, that's what I forgot to say in the last entry. One of the flowers at the tip of the main vine of the 584.2 Frei, the one closest to the tip, looks to me like it'll be ready to open tomorrow. But, it was hard to get a really good look at it because of the heat and rain today. I didn't get to cover it. So, I am just going to have to gamble that it will open the next day.
If it does open in the morning, I can pollinate it anyway and still be sure that it is getting pollinated by its own male flowers because there aren't any other pumpkin plants with flowers around. I just hope that doesn't mean that I have to declare it as an "open pollination". I want to do this properly, with known genetics.
