Hello. Anywhere from the last week of June to July 15 I believe is a good time to pollinate. Don't worry so much about how many lobes. Pick the one the is growing the fasts, good position to the vine and is on a primary vine. My 818 was 8 foot out with 4 lobes.

To the list,

I have five pumpkins set on my mombert 937. They are all on the main vine. The earliest one was pollinated 6/28/00 and the others were 7/3 (two of them the same day), 7/5 and 7/8. My question is. Is the one I pollinated on 6/28 going to ripen too soon for me to get it to a weigh-off the first of October? It is now almost basketball size.

6/28 was 4 lobed and was pollinated with Rocky's Lloyd 935.

7/3 were both 5 lobed and both pollinated with Rocky's Lloyd 935 (thanks rock!!).

7/5 was 4 lobed and pollinated with the Chekon 700.

7/8 was 5 lobed and pollinated with the Chekon 700.

Any thoughts 4 lobes as opposed to 5 lobes?

Thank-you,

Mark
