It taped pushing 700.

Next year will be a deep till again. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358011 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358011 Tue, 07 Apr 2026 20:56:44 GMT 97 degrees today, then a high off 55 tomorrow. That's what living in the middle of the country does. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357809 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357809 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:53:11 GMT Any guesses on the seed family? I found it on a trail in Siesta Key, Florida last week. I am germinating it now and have no clue what it is... doesn't look like a palm tree. Edit - hole at the bot... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357768 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357768 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:15:07 GMT My kid took some Spanish Moss off a tree in Florida 5 years ago while fishing backwaters. We brought it home and have been growing ever since. It does well hanging outside by the BBQ area from April u... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357192 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357192 Wed, 14 Jan 2026 17:40:24 GMT After an early season fungicide drift disaster, we salvaged 200 sq feet and grew this on a tertiary vine. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=356179 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=356179 Sat, 20 Sep 2025 19:23:10 GMT 16 DAP and 58 CC It gained 35 CC in last 7 days. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354582 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354582 Sat, 19 Jul 2025 15:07:17 GMT Haven't looked at the front in a few days and found this -15 DAP Any ideas what this is? It's growing 5 inches plus a night, lots of rain and very humid. All input on what this could be is ap... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354553 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354553 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 16:11:59 GMT DAP 13 (42cc) , putting on 5inches a day now, but not symmetrical. Anyone have one like this NOT split? I don't recall lobes being deformed. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354497 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354497 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 20:21:56 GMT I definitely had herbicide drift damage and lost one plant (no YVD). The 1965 lives on and has this Dap 9 on a secondary (24 cc). It lost most of its main vine and some secondary leaves, but we w... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354376 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354376 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 19:53:13 GMT Opinions please. Is this yellow vine disease or herbicide drift? Other plant had scrunched up leaves on new growth, but seems to have grown out of it. Will whole plant go yellow if YVD? http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354250 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354250 Mon, 07 Jul 2025 22:25:40 GMT 2018 Hazeltine Dap 4 looking solid. I'm headed to Mexico next week and plants will be limited to any care. We are also well above 105 F heat indexes in Missouri. Here's to hoping. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353601 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353601 Fri, 20 Jun 2025 23:31:04 GMT Can anyone tell me why seeds in the blossom are bad? Is this growable even though it's otherwise symmetrical? Never had this and my only shot on the main on the 1965. Thanks! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353575 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353575 Fri, 20 Jun 2025 08:02:39 GMT Anyone see lobes like this? I've never had them pressed forward, they usually lean back where you can see the middle section (forms a bowl). How many lobes would this be? http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353412 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353412 Mon, 16 Jun 2025 14:52:47 GMT Pollinated a 5 lober in the rain on the 2018 Hazeltine with the 1965 about 12 feet out. The 2018 is doing well, but the 1965 had hail cut the main vine in half. I cut back to the closest secondary and... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353006 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353006 Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:45:41 GMT Burning Honeysuckles watching the plants start to root (day 6 in the ground).
