Well, due to a series of numerous destructive storm I am down to 1 pumpkin plant, the 2009 Wallace that will obviously be self pollinated. It is the only plant I designated in the screen house for just this reason..Storms. What a beautiful Plant! The plant is growing so fast/large that the stem has begun to split at grounds surface but I'm not too worried about it fore I have dealt with those quite successfully in the past. Not growing in the screen house for a season and amending the soil really seems to have conditioned the soil very well. It has that earthy musty smell to it that tells you, "Yes Grasshopper, you have done well",lol. I also have 2 of my own 146.5 Melon plants behind the 2009 Wallace far side of pic and they too yet behind are doing great. Hope to break 200 on those plants this season. Also three more melon plants of the same but grafted via AG Rootstock outside the screen house doing quite well.
