RE: Where's the Pollen?

Thanks Brock! And what a great Tee Shirt! Received many compliments on
it at Literary Field Day at my son's school.

I only had one female that didn't abort last year, that was my 408.
There were no other pumpkins. That is why I would like to set this one.
It can get very difficult down here with the heat. Will definitely try
icehouse methods this season. Thanks again. I get mighty nervous around
pollination time.
