I took the family for a 3 day trip into Wisconsin. Just long enough for the weeds to grow up, short out the electric fence and let the groundhogs in. They did their worst to the 1096.5 Privitera. They ate off 4 pumpkins on the main, including the one we were going to keep. They also ate off the end of the main and a lot of leaves. They did leave one female on the main that opened today, so I pollinated. it. They also left the one that I polinated on one of the rear secondaries, so that will probably end up being the keeper for that plant. On the 1068 Papez, they nipped a few leaves and barely nibbled the pumpkin. I think it will make it. Jacob is out now clearing the weeds, and he has orders to shoot groundhogs on site. No messing around with the pellet gun, we are getting out the 12 ga. shotgu with heavy turkey loads.
