Re: The Butter Cam
Vince,
Good luck, I bet the San Francisco area is ideal for pumpkin growing (the
climate sounds ideal).
We have just warmed up here in Sterling, MA... matter of fact we just got
past a week of temps in the high 80's to mid 90's... with extremely high
humidity... now my plants are growing like weeds.
Do you have any females yet? You must with plants of that size.
We try to pollinate (ideally) our plants around the 4th to 10th of July.
This is if everything goes well.
Good luck this year! With plants that strong you should do very well.
What seeds did you plant this year?
Dave
