Pumpkin Gurus:
I'm pushing the limit and trying to grow 2 pumpkins in my back yard patch
this year - so it is time to prune...
I my first site I have the 990 Hebb (616 Corkum x 780 Eaton) and 996.5
Emmons (940 Mombert x (968 Sproule & self)) going - this appears to be a
dead heat, the Hebb burst through the soil first, but the Emmons caught up -
nothing spectacular about either plant. Which should I keep???
I my other site I have the famous 723 Bobier going up against the
968 Hester (800 Edwards x 815 Anderson) - the Bobier burst through the soil
first, but the Hester has caught up and lapped it - nice thick stem
to be, and large, healthy leaves - it is my best looking plant of the 4, the
clear early winner... Nothing spectacular at all about the Bobier.
One has to go - so I either turf my best, healthiest, strongest, fastest plant
(the Hester) or I pull up a 723 Bobier - don't know if I am man enough to do
that...
What should I do? Any advice is appreciated...
Thanks,
Kevin
