She was a windy one here today. A summer sunny day windstorm. The leaves on the plants were holding on for dear life. I wish I could say that all survived unscathed but I can't. Thankfully it was only a couple of secondaries that got blown over and split the vines. Hopefully they will heal and continue to grow but if not it's still nice to see that the damage was minimal.

Still probably another week at least before their is any pollinating happening. I just can't wait. The main females on both plants are forming just where I was hoping. Right on target for the ground that is prepared for them. With the space I have in my patch if the mains don't give me pumpkins then it's trouble finding space for any others to grow.

Good year this year.
