Remember the backup 395 plant that I tried to kill with calcium nitrate to determine toxic levels of nitrogen? It surpassed my primary 395 plant! So, . . . more nitrogen next year for me. I haven't been using enough. We always tread the razor's edge between too much and not enough. Oh well. I decided not to give me main plants any more N since pollination time is coming up soon. Speaking of which, I've decided that it's more important to wait until the 10th of July and have 13-15 feet of vine behind my pumpkin than it would be to pollinate now at the 7' range. Again, hard to know what the right course of action is but . . . Well, let's put it this way: more plant is more power and a higher rate of growth. I'm waiting. But, NEXT year I'm going do everything in my power to get 15' of vine before June 25th. I like the idea of having my pumpkin (fruit) growing duriing the longest days of the year
