My poor 'ole plan B with the ugly stem cracks is still growing. We were able to pump it up just a little by increasing the fish, kelp and molasses. This was in addition to our finishing plans.

You don't need so much growth now, Carrie; she is going to be heavy!

It will go heavy. Like I said along time ago, it will go over 700. 700+Polka 03. Sounds good

Carrie, what plant did you grow it on, and what was the pollinator? Good luck with it, I hope it goes heavy for you.

Are we talking about the 805 or the 790? If its the one that looked like my ass that puppy will be heavy. Shannon

Randooo it is growing on the 790 Daletas and was pollinated with the 805 Pukos. Shannon we are talking about the 790 not your 805 the ass. But also I would like to see your ass weigh heavy also. Kenny if you are right then its getting close now to where you need to settle our bet with me.

Hi Dot,

Our humble little pumpkin has decided to put on a little growth spurt after a freaky frost a couple of weeks ago. I have picked up 75# since. The main thing now is to hang on to the fruit and try to move ahaed. Rainydays is the 790 the orange one???
Hope to see you all in Canby, 13 more days......

Gerry
