Monday, April 20 View Page 04/20/26. Started 3 of my 4 Outdoor plants 1948 McMillin 2-2731 Stelts 2-2618 Mendi And also a 2819 Paton that unfortunately germinated with rotten cots and was no good. I was really excited to plant it. :( Thursday, April 23 View Page 04/23/26 Outdoor plants germinated. 2819 Paton Top left 1948 McMillin Bottom left 2731 two in middle 2618 two on right Friday, April 24 View Page 04/24/26 1305 McMillin Pollinated my first pumpkin this season in the huts, a nice 4 lobe Tuesday, April 28 View Page 2181 Masters....Wow is all I can say! Photo is exactly 30 day from the day I sanded and soaked the seeds! I would never have believed a plant could grow like this, it is over 8' long and 6' wide. Secondaries are growing almost as fast as main vine. The size of the leaves and stalks at only 30 day from being a seed is unbelievable to me. Either this seed is an absolute genetic rock star or I must give Travis some credit for this, he might've gave me a little tip to try and correct an earlier issue on the 1305 that I used from the start on this one!

I really like the location of this pumpkin, it has 26 secondaries behind it, I have terminated 6 secondaries already, it will likely be my keeper as long as the plant agrees with me and lets me keep this one. Wednesday, April 29 View Page 2518 Andrusz Update pic. Photo is 28 days from the day I sanded and soaked the seeds, Doing amazing considering its an outdoor plant fighting the crazy weather, not being tucked in a cozy light and temperature controlled hut like my other 2 are.
