Culled Tobeck 2002 X Self pumpkin. It was the size of a basketball and developed BES. Now I only have 2 sets on the 2002 plant. Both are Tobeck 2002 X Tobeck 1836 and are small. If one of them makes it to Halloween, it will have made good seeds. Tobeck 1836 X Tobeck 2002 is the size of a basketball. The other 1836 X 2002 set aborted. Hopefully these crosses will put the best traits of the 2145 seed into 1 of these seeds. All sets are well protected with anti critter cages.

Added 20-20-20 fertilizer to my witch's brew. This adds a few minerals that the brew was missing. Noticed nice growth on Karkos 5.63 tomato after the last fertilizer blast. I have to make the Borg sling bigger. It's a nice big green tomato buried in the middle of the plant surrounded by leaves.

Wife is helping me with the greenhouse. I told her its coming down Oct. 15.It will make setting up easier having her help. Have to buy a few things(duct tape, plastic, fence stakes. wire) for assembling it. Have electric cord from the garage set up for a fan in the greenhouse. Thought about adding misting sprinkler hoses in the green house.
