Yesterday was a busy day 5 hours of work prunning all 4 plants terminating a few sides that are real long and fixing my wind fence and keeping the grass down near my electric fence. The pumpkins are srill only gaining 3 inches a night I am not real happy with this but the ground is still a bit cold with nights in the low 60s. My first 1502 Wallace fruit is at 33 inches at 13 days and my 1334 Daletas is at 28 inches at 10 days. The 1334 is a keeper due to the fact that I only got 3 females on the whole vine and number 3 this morning was a mess not even worth pollinating. I also pollinated the first 2 fruit on the 1100 Hester the one on the new main is a bit twisted but I may have to keep it.I also did a backup on a very long side vine just in case so I at least have a pumpkin on this huge plant. Here is a look at the 1502 and 1334 fruit.
