Here is a picture of the top left of the plant with three pumpkins on 3 different vines. There are three other pumpkins that I have not shown in pics because I didn't have time to take anymore pics--I was getting eaten by mosquitos! Notice the leaf is a little yellow in the photo--as I mentioned I have several leaves yellowing slightly--and many of the young ones are burning in the heat. Nothing special about these pumpkins except the one on the top left has a really nice long vine--but it is on a weak secondary and it has an odd green strip/ball protruding from it. These ones are between 5-6 days old and have a circ of 9-10 inches. Please e-mail me with any comments re: what pumpkins look good at this stage and regarding leaf yellowing. 2 more pumpkins to pollinate on this plant tomorrow (my 10th and 11th pollinations on this plant!) Like I said, any comments on what looks good at this stage, please let me know. I will probably keep pollinating pumpkins (there are tons more females) and start culling when they reach volleyball size. Any other stragegies people have please let me know.
