Re: Wow
I also had a pumpkin plant last year that was a double vine, then triple
vine...etc. The vine was at least 8 inches wide on the main vine..Also all
the secondary vines doubled and flattened out. I noticed on my plant that
the pumpkins would start to grow then blow up...they would crack or they
would abort. The plant was fun to watch grow...the grow was amazing! I
think I would of rather had a pumpkin grow, rather then a mutant plant!
However, I won for the most oddest vegetable at the local pumpkin festival,
so I guess it wasn't a complete loss. The seed was from Howard Dill, the
seed was a 935 LB pumpkin. I don't know if weather is the cause or genetics.
I know it was a really wet and cool summer.
This year due to the cool ,wet weather , I haven't had much luck. Plants
are really small. I have my fingers crossed, and legs crossed, just hoping
that weather straightens out! In 3 days we got another 2 and 1/2 inches of
rain...and such cool temps at night. I even had frost on the 5th of July!
I am trying to grow them big, but I need a little help from Mother Nature,
or I guess maybe move..lol.
