Re: two per hill? one?
Hi All.
I have just pollenated my first plant today.My 757 Dill {female}I
pollenated with my 823 Dill. The vine on my 757 is now 11 ft long and the
pumpkins is out 8 ft. My 352 is now 12 ft long and still have a few days
before it will be ready to pollenate.The vines are growing an average of
6 to 7 inches a day.This is my second year of growing pumpkins and am way
ahead of last year so am keeping my fingers crossed that this could be a
good year for me.
