LanTerra Blog > A Lofty Goal
Pollination time has crept upon us very quickly this year. Prime time is now and this grower is greedily soaking up the flowers faster than a colony of honey bees at sundown. The weather is perfect for pollinating and the bright sun brings out a nice dark farmers tan.
Although I've done much more this year to prepare for the progeny to come this week there just never seems to be enough time to get it all done. The chores are endless and the vine burring is so tiresome with the extra work of trenching and spreading and dimpling and pinching and staking. Well it is easy to say its a lot of work. I would guess this grower has easily shed 20 pounds of extra girth tending the flock up to this point in time. The exercise is a benefit. With the reduction in chores about to happen soon I think I will start too quickly build up my strength again for the long winter to come. Calorie storage is something I do extreme very well, in fact you could say I'm one of the very best around.
Ah, but the best is rather a lofty goal for a grower of giants. The next few days will surely decide my fate as I flounder toward the holly grail of purely percieved misplaced pumpkin pleasurement. My expectations are so high and the fruit growth is so obscure. The clock moves slower at this time of year. Just get me to day 10 or 20 and let me measure away. Which one to I keep, which one do I cull. That is the question I face. Decision time is rolling near and fate of my selections stands in the balance of Octobers scale.
