Mark ,

This is what i do I try and pollinate the main twice with two different
sets then pollinate good looking secondaries thick and strong secondary
mains I guess.  Then a few others and then let the bees do a few..  The
idea is to pick and choose.    some keep records at 14 18 21 30 days  which
ever is growing the best they go with it.....so if you do this keep track
when you and the bees pollinate.   BUT there is a Question I have??????
most big pumpkins are grown on mains.  So what do you do with a fast
growing secondary does that override the main set......75 degree weather to
all..........Brock
