last night i called brooks bosworth foa little advise on getting a pumkin to set on my plants. he advised me to get into my pickme up truck and drive through the patch and smash the vines, that would surly get a pumkin to set.so after drinking a six pack or so i did just that.as i reached in to the back seat for another beer i accidently ran over the only pumkin i had left in the patch.moral of the story, keep your beer in the front seat. thanks for the advise anyway brooks

scottie, was your truck loaded with sand while you ran over those plants? I heard that can help make the pollinations stick.

I'd have to see it to believe it.
I think his plants are so big he looses track of the pumpkins on the main vine.
Last I knew, he pollinated one at 17 feet and he probably forgot about it.
Now he is looking for a pollination on the main vine at 34 feet.
All of a sudden, they, the pumpkins, will show up in late September.
Now I have to drive visit his patch and check on this story myself!

Not to worry about the smashed pumpkin scott, All is not lost, dump 3 60 oz bottles of daconil (straight, no water )over the smashed flattened pumpkin so no deases set in, then give it about a week and ur pumpkin should fluff right back up and be putting on 20 to 30 lbs a day again. Dont give up is my motto.

I no longer have any sand left for bagging purposes here in PA . Scottie has taken it all.

I drove by last night. All I saw was SALAD! So I can not confirm anything. I was afraid to enter the patch for fear of boobie traps. He would not return my calls last night.
Scottie, where are you?
