I hope this works, My female 940 female opened today.
And with plenty of males Just waiting to do their job, I helped them along today. Has anyone else pollinated this early? The fruit is on the main vene at 10'. Noone in this area has ever heard of a pumpkin being set this early,or even had a plant big enough at this time of year. I'm just wondering if the plant will die off early, or can I keep it alive untill fall.

the plant if taken care of will last till fall as far as the pumpkin goes it will more than likely be done growing in 60 day's which makes it hard to keep whole to a weigh off. myself i just pollunated one today at 30' main but since i have no weigh off's here i can pick it as soon as it's done.

I've pollinated about 1/2 doz. so far. all out over 10'. will probably abort most of them for later fruit but can'tb resist setting some. one I pollinated last week (tues) is the size of a softball allready
