And now there are 3 - lookin' like a homeless camp out there, especially at night with the heating lights on.

Frame 2 - main plant - 1969 Haist'14 by 1756 Lancaster x 1995 Steltz with backup-1291McCracken'15 by 1625Huydic x 1844Rose
Frame 3 - Main plant 1513 Fulk by 1744Fulk x 2323 Meier with back up 1405 Rauch by 1744Fulk x Self (a beautiful yellow pumpkin)
It's going to be painful to sacrifice any of the back ups, especially the one out of Grandpa Meier.
Whole team growing beautifully - everybody has the advantage of mycochyzia + 10-10-10 + kelp upon planting and then added WOW packets when they came in the mail (with a personal thank you from Ron for the purchase)a few days later.

Goal: something >900 lbs, last year, my first year, 454 which seemed plenty huge to me (and the neighborhood)
