Guess I was a tad excited bringing together my first cross.

I'M NOW A PROFESSIONAL MATCH MAKER!!! At about 15 feet the first female opened on 1098.8 TC. I got the five lobed FM all fixed up with a 1061.5 TC male.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE MISTAKE IN PLANNING! We just had our first wedding in light conditions to dark for me to photograph.

I did not feel any vibes in my hand holding the male but I think I heard a ladies voice say: "thank you, that was great".

The wedding was held at daybreak Tuesday July 8, 2003. Both the bride and the groom were in basic yellows trimmed in soft greens. The grand daddy was a bit rough in musty garden clothes and showing dirty knees. May no man, disease or beast put them under. The ceremony closed at 5:30 AM.

I'm a new grand daddy... if it takes and develops.

Congratulations Dwaine...
Did some match making myself this morning. Had to deal with a few univited guess. What are the bee's doing up at 6:30 in the morning ? The sun doesn't show up over the mountain till after 7.
I always worry when I do a self pollination if the pumpkin will be "slow". Then I think to myself i don't care if he's slow or not just so long as he's big. :)

Hey it looks like I will get to train my helper hands on in the morning. The second and maybe a third appear that they will open.

This is more fun than rolling corn silk for cheap Bull Duram.
