Well here he is. The kids decided to name him "Carl". His genetic make-up is 1297 Ghaye female x 649 Spada male. He was pollinated on July 3 and is biggest pumpkin in the patch at this point. Did alot of small things in the patch yesterday. Took down inner silt fence as main vine of McKie plant was pressing on it. Sprayed Roundup on large amount of weeds in patch. Removed aging leaves from plants. Cut tendrils and gave the plants a nice evening meal of fish and seaweed fertilizer. This morning pollinated a 649 Spada female (4 lobes) and a 133.5 Borton female (5 lobes) with pollen from the 1297 Ghaye. I think these will be my last planned pollinations of the season unless others fail to take. Heavy rain here this morning. Will disable the sprinkler timer temporarily. Need to bury vines but today it's really wet out there.
