$^%%$^% critters. Messed up my Tobeck 1836 X Tobeck 2002 cross I was going to do today. I've been waiting all summer for the stars and planets to line up for this cross. The critter broke the 1836 flower off the vine. Fortunately I will be doing this on another side vine tomorrow on the 1836 plant if the critter stays away from my patch. It will have enough time to grow to produce seeds and take to Stillwater. I know the weight will be an embarrassment but the genetics are there for next year to try out along with the Tobeck 2002 X Tobeck 1836 I have growing.
I stopped a critter from taking a bite out of my Tobeck 2002 X Tobeck 1836 cross by surrounding it with glue traps. When I checked on it, 1 glue trap was missing and another was a few feet from the pumpkin.
I am going to put a section of screen and use yard staples to anchor it to the ground over the Tobeck 1836 X Tobeck 2002 cross to try to prevent anymore critter attacks.
