Update bout the farm...

Well..I've been on a 15 day trip to the NE..and upon returning to the 
pumpkin (and squash) plants at the farm ---- I discovered an explosion 
has occurred... most now have a 3-6 foot main vine and a couple even 
have a small marble sized immature fruit which may possibly open this 
weekend..

Upon driving up to/approaching the row - I had visions of looking at 
Joel Hollands young plants as seen in his videos...I'm really impressed 
with how they are growing - the leaves are big and dark green - they 
look better then what I have had grown in the back yard...There is still 
a long way to go - but hopefully something big might happen..


I took a few notes on what looks good ==== lots I'd like to say but 
breifly..

For starters...I had to try the lowly but surprising Canniff (state 
record) 459 (96')     -- I have 8 plants -- and they are really looking 
very good...5-6' vines....thick main vines... very surprised at these..

3 Dill 715's look good....

2 Don Langavin 515 plants look good....827X722 JL crosses..

1 Harold Baird 774 looks good also his 652  (3 plants) look nice

2 Jack Larue 680's from Gus Saunders 680's look good..

2 L. Orr 815.5's look strong....

2 Al Eaton 739's  --- good looking plants!....

hell basically - everything looks strong.... I have weeded the poor 
plants out and the rest are as follows..

1 866 K Mombert...strong plant....small fruit..


4 JH  739's --- these are so-so... weird looking 
vine....mashed...compacted....but big and thick....have to see here..

4 Len Stellpflug (LS) 760's
4 LS 737's
2 LS 588's
1 LS 730

4 Dill 600+   (3 look good)

1 RW 567.4 (don't know who RW is)   from a 567.5 K.Mombert...via Don L.

and a few other top secret plants too....


OK...don't shoot me for "wasting" these good seeds...there doing very 
good up till now....just be ready for the 4th of July weigh-off..
..and new state record too I hope...


Stay Warm,
