Today was culling day, I always hate doing it, I never want to "put all my eggs in one basket" so to speak, but I guess that's what it takes to go big. This is the #1 and #2 Keim, both had short stems and were not positioned well on the vine. The smallest one is the #3 Pitura, since the #1 is doing pretty well we're going with it. I usually let pumpkins go longer but with this heat wave I didn't want any more water expended on miscellaneous pumpkins. According to our thermometer, high of 98 today, 102 yesterday, 97 and 94 the two preceeding days - that's dam hot! especially for VT.
