Ok so I was out in the garden the other day and decided to pollinate a lone female on the Frantz's main vine not thinking much as I was concentrating on getting a pumpkin on the main to take. Last Thursday the female was baseball sized and I went out today after totally forgetting I pollinated this female and low and behold under the leaves is a pumpkin that is bigger then a basketball and its catching up to the Marchand in size. We might just have a winner. Knock on wood this one does not stop growing but right now there is no weird ribbing and its a perfect round shape with a pale smooth yellow look to it.Its on a side vine so I will keep an eye on it but hopefully this is the one for that plant will wait and see. Pics will come soon and I think me and Becky are gonna add some fertz to the patch to give our pumpkins a growing boost. Grow em big everyone and I have not given up LOL at least not until the first frost comes.
