HERE'S Holland 1463 AKA LUCY(back) & Barker 1191 AKA ETHEL (front) ! ! ! oh what to do. . . Lucy has 2 pumpkins one 38", another 18" and Ethel is off to a slower start. . .16". The larger Lucy (38") is on a secondary vine and from all the "pros" that I talked to via email they said to cull the one on the secondary vine. TOUGH decision. As a pro put it. . ."You are the captain of your giant pumpkin ship. You are the one that decides your pumpkin ship's needs and what direction you want to take it. It is the decisions you make that decide whether or not your pumpkin ship runs aground or whether you sail it safely to the weigh off scale. If you want to grow smaller fruit then just overload your pumpkin plants with extra pumpkins. If you want to sail to the weigh off scale with a huge pumpkin then give your pumpkin ship what it needs to do so. A talented second year grower should be able to grow one just as large or larger. Learn to think in four digit numbers". Will keep u posted. . . they r growing faster than princess luna (Zunino)same time last year. Hummmmm Time to call in the YAYAAAAAAAAAAA's for help on making this decision.
