I then looked around and seen the 998 Pukos was under estimate and I know the great pumpkins it has produced. Saturday, May 15 View Page Watching two plants closely, my wife thinks the reason the cot leafs are turning white is they hav'nt had any sun, the 3rd and 4 leafs look fine, I will see what happens, I did file soak and plant another seed if worse comes to worse and I need to replant.

Saturday, June 5 View Page Sprayed some malation on my plants to kill any vine borer eggs that may be on them. All the talk about vine borers flying by got me thinking I don't want to wait to long like last year and loose a plant to vine borers. My 1185Kline is at about a foot long for the main vine, only it is going sideways, I'm slowly turning it. Wednesday, June 9 View Page Took down some of the plastic surronding the plants, one has a 2 foot main vine and it is about to run into the plastic. Used shish kabob shishers (what ever they are called)to hold them down. I fed them, just as I was doing a last check a big fat bug landed next to the plant, it looked like it was a vine borer moth. I sprayed with malathalion. Saturday, June 12 View Page Rainy, highs in the mid 70's, lows in the 50's, plants need the sun. I have had two main vines go left instead of straight, one is going straight back instead of forward.

Plants are groing great, perticularly the 1185Kline. 751Mudd is growing slow, 1ft main, the plant I want to pollinate it with is 4ft, will it make it? that and I still have to bend a main that is 1ft long and back and off to the side, I hope it makes the turn with out me breaking it. Wednesday, June 23 View Page 1185Kline, doing great, I almost layed a menue next to it and said tell me what you want, it is just growing great and I seem to be doing nothing to it, it is at 12 feet. Wednesday, June 23 View Page 224Brouillard (mine) growing, will pollinate with the 751Mudd if it has flowers when I'm ready to pollinate, 5 feet.

The cross will be 1185Kline x 1725Harp. Monday, July 5 View Page Went to pollinate this morning and the lobes were deformed looking, there was enough room for a quarter of a flower to pollinate with, would not fit a normal flower, lobes were big and puffy. And it had something else growing in it that I did not recognize, when I'm absolutely sure it did not take I will post pictures. Monday, July 5 View Page Challenging to pollinate, will see in a day or two how I did. Monday, July 5 View Page More views, flower looks like it is over grown, bunchy. Monday, July 5 View Page Another view Monday, July 5 View Page Other side Tuesday, July 6 View Page Good news bad news, steped on half a main vine on one of my plants, it will probably stop growing, it kind of does not matter because the plant is being grown for its pollen, then to be pulled, if all goes well. I attempted to pollinate the pumpkin yesterday, I had to make the flower I used to pollinate with a 4th the size it was, in a few days I should no if it got pollinated. The patch is wet, rained, downpoured most of yesterday. Tuesday, July 6 View Page The flower was a 7 lober Wednesday, July 7 View Page Pollinated pumpkin looks like it has gotten a little bigger, only it might look like it could be getting soft, or it is not going to grow. I bought some sand and a quarter yard of compost, I'm running out of dirt to burry the side vines. I had a vine borer keep landing on my plants, so I took a hand ful of compost and whipped it at it, it flew away. I was also burring vines and a rain storm broke out, I decided to call it a day. Thursday, July 8 View Page I cut down some leafs around the stump to give the stump air circulation. Terminated my main vine at 25 feet, also terminated alot of side vines. I have been foliar feeding at night regularly, and every night there is a Rabbit right out front the patch, last night I went there and there was a Fox where the Rabbit usually is, he was stocking the Rabbit. Friday, July 9 View Page Cleaned out the stump area. Saturday, July 10 View Page 55 gallon watering drum Saturday, July 10 View Page Minnesota Twins game, Twins lost to the Rays. Saturday, July 10 View Page Boo boo & boo again, I went to double check to see if the pumpkin flower was open today and it was, I had planned and thought it was opening tommorow. The plan was to pollinate with a 1725Harp flower, I ended up using a flower from the same plant because I did not have the 1725 flower yet. So, I have one polinated with 1725, only on both pumpkin flowers the flower hole is really small, a fourth the regular size. The other with 1185Kline, the lobes were a perfect 5 lober. I will save a side vine pumpkin if neither of the two on the main don't grow. Saturday, July 10 View Page Is it doing fine, just slow or will it abort, day 5. Saturday, July 10 View Page Day 5, is hard, I don't think it will abort, but it could. Sunday, July 11 View Page Pollinated 224Brouillard x 751Mudd, perfect 5 lober. Full of 898Knauss,898Knauss remake, pollinated by 898, opposite cross of 898. Thursday, July 15 View Page 1185Line x 1725Harp aborted, lobes were funny in it. Since then I have 1185Kline x self, it is growing great (good anyway)1003Christian that has two main vines and looks like a octopuss will be pollinated by the 975Kline if all goes well, I also have two more ready to pollinate on the 1185, will pollinate in case something happens to the one going so well now. The 224 Brouillard x 751Mudd is growing, not fast but is growing as far as Ican tell, I have one more I want to pollinate on that one also, 224 is full of 898Knauss and opposite cross of 898Knauss. I trimmed some plants around the pumpkins today, almost done with burrying side vines. roots are growing everywhere, a good sign. I fed my world famous fish emulsion (one one pound fish in blender, strained into a gallon jug, filled with water,, seaweed from oriental store 3 1/2 onces dried in a oven until brittle, put in blender, strained, fill with water, one cup of the mix to a gallon, and presto wamo, I used a one pound Talapia fish the othere day and it seemed to have better response from the plant then the local caught fish, I will have to experiment more with this. Saturday, July 17 View Page 3 pollinations today, 1 on the 1185Kline, x 224Brouillard, 1003Christiansen x 975Kline, 224Brouillard x 751Mudd. For some reason the 224Brouillard pumpkin does not look like it took, so I pollinated another and probably will yet another. The 1003Christiansen plant is for orange. I was holding my haved over the flower, alot of bumble bees buzzing around me. The 1185 and the 224 both did not take on the first pollination. Saturday, July 17 View Page I did a dumb thing, cut the vine off with a pumpkin I pollinated this morning, I have three going on the plant, anyway, two are mostly for if something happens to the one that I have had for 6 days, I was clearing some leafs out of the area for one of them, and a vine I did'nt realize it was a thin side vine with pumpkin, "OUCH", what a dumb mistake. I have a pumpkin set on my three plants, the first one on 2 of the plants did not take, find out if the 3rd plant will take the first soon. Watered, fed, cussed and smiled.

Saturday, July 17 View Page Longgourds climbing the fence with my Indian corn, the late great Mr. Tackett gave me a few when I asked for a few seeds. Sunday, July 18 View Page 1185 I put a footstool over it last night and the pumpkin grew enough for it to raise the footstool, now I have a plus pattern on top of the pumpkin, at first I thought it split. 224plant one has'nt aborted but it will or its the worlds slowest growing pumpkin, waiting to see if the 2nd one is going to take, and the 3rd if I have to. I don't expect much out of the 1003 except orange and pollinated by orange, it has two main vines, grew the opposite way it was suppose to, and is in a small growing area. Stormed last night. Tuesday, July 20 View Page 1185 is growing like a dream, or really good, no problems yet, day 9 34cc. 224Brouillard is 16cc round and growing slow, 1003Christensen day 3.

I then found under a vine comming from the stump a split vine, I was'nt sure if it had vine borers because it was underneath, so I cut it off. I must of cut a third of the vines, leafs off the plants. Now to see how much it slows the pumpkins gains, hopefully not more than half. Next year traps. Monday, August 2 View Page Live and learn from expierence, I found some vine borers, I was so mad I yanked the whole vine, then I realized I could of just taken the vine borers out and let the vine heal.
