Hi! Third time grower here, but first time with a big variety of great seeds. I got them all from the auctions. Big thanks to the spring hope auction organizers for the extra seeds:). Anyways, I grow outdoors and achieved 1157 lbs & 913 lbs+HDA last year. This year I'll grow 3 pumpkins and I need help with choosing good genetics. Please help me choose 6 Seeds (2 for each start hole) Thank you!

Patch looks slightly awful, no cover crop or total removal. Left the leftovers from the shredded herbs there.

This is the 2404 Barron plant. Why is the second true leaf shaped so weirdly? Am I still good to go with that Plant? Thanks!

Let's see if the 2404 Barron will grow. Still have concerns about it but the genetics are worth the try.

Same issue with the 1976 New seed, but time will show. Artificial light would be nice for those cloudy days we have here

The patch for this year- going for three plant- two hoop houses have heating cables and the third one has a heater in it. The Tarpaulin is a leftover from a "silo-Tarpaulin-> it is meant to be a herb killer
