1623 with a soft blossom always a losing battle but I will not give up. Greenhouse heater and Martina's hair dryer

So, we are going through a heat wave hear. 96 degrees F outside, inside the greenhouses about 120. Lost lots of leaves, even a retiree can't water enough. I need for all of Team-Pumpkin to wish me the best, sorta like the train that could.

1623.5 Wallace Day 25. Never got the 6” gains I expected, but it is steady.

1789 Wallace Day 15. Slow start, I actually thought it had aborted on day 10.

1623.5 Wallace, really like the shape, starting to pick up the growth pace.

[pma:3de660964b]7412[/pma:3de660964b]

Crossed the 1789 Wallace with the 1623.5 Wallace today, a 5 lobe pumpkin.

Day 10 circumference of the 1623.5 is 22", not the greatest, but last year my 1061 lb was only at 17.5" on day 10 so everything is okay.

Plan A is looking good. Day 8 and the circumference is already at last years day 10.

1623.5 Wallace - Plan A is 7 days old now and doing okay.

[pma:812ff646b1]7398[/pma:812ff646b1]

1623.5 Wallace - Plan B is a 6 lobe 1623.5 x self pollinated today.

[pma:812ff646b1]7399[/pma:812ff646b1]

Paper mill fabric is in place, everything is looking good, wish me luck.

[pma:a36db6c36c]7364[/pma:a36db6c36c]

Today I positioned the vines so that I have a perfect landing position for the one I want as keeper, now I just need to lay down the paper mill fabric.

Pollinated 3 pumpkins 1623.5 x self today, in a week I'll pick the keeper. All are perfect 5 lobers

1623.5 Wallace, now covering about 60 qm., I have 4 pumpkins that will be ready in 1-2 days.

[pma:f7410b00b3]7355[/pma:f7410b00b3]

1789 Wallace, covering about 25 qm., not sure why it is so much slower than the 1623.5

[pma:f7410b00b3]7356[/pma:f7410b00b3]

1623.5 Wallace started out to be a classic xmas tree pattern but then some fat idiot broke off the tip of the main vine now it is turning into a box pattern. It has 2 nice looking pumpkins on the 8th and 9th side vines so the idiot with the fat fingers might get lucky after all. [pma:ebebb31210]7255...

54 degrees celsius in the greenhouses

Obwohl es gibt einige tagebuecher hier, es ist offensichltlich das einige fehlen. Ich will nicht namen nennen, der list wird einfach zu lang. Was meint ihr warum? Haben viele aufgehoert? Haben die den spass an zuechten verloren? Wollen die beim weighoff alle ueberuschen? Wollen die keine geheimnisse...
