Thursday, May 12 View Page My 150 square foot challenge patch.   Wednesday, July 6 View Page 150 square foot challenge pumpkin, 973 Palmer x self, at 5 DAP. She sits about 11 feet out on the main. I’ve got some vines to terminate and bury, and a few to train. The pumpkin is on a bit of foam temporarily, and you can see where the main vine decided to snap. I’m excited to see how this ends up.   Wednesday, July 6 View Page 150 square foot challenge plant. 973 Palmer   Thursday, July 14 View Page My 150 square foot challenge pumpkin, 12 DAP as of 7/13/22. 973 Palmer x Self.   Thursday, July 14 View Page 150   Friday, July 29 View Page 1910 Ureña x 1686.5 Stelts, DAP 43.

Estimated at about 1,000 pounds. This hasn’t been an ideal growing season, got promoted at work and have had next to zero time to spend in the patch. Weeds took over, and feeding was severely limited. Planning some adjustments for next season. Regardless, I’m happy to have anything to take to the scales.   Friday, September 2 View Page 1910 Ureña x 1686.5 Stelts. DAP 78. Estimated a bit over 1,000 pounds.
