Sorry to be a pest with this re-post, but I'm probably going to have to make the cull tomorrow 6/28/98 -- so anyone who has time to give me your thoughts would be appreciated as so far no one has -- thanks! -- Regards, Chris Wilbers Sioux Falls, SD --------------------------------------------------------------------- n*@ideasign.com

Here's an update from South Dakota, with a question -- which one plant in each of two hills to cull? Hill 1 LaRue 916 Double main vine about 7-8 feet long. No female blossoms so far. Huge leaves. A few leaves have some yellow spots I thought might be virus, but almost none of the newer leaves have them. Emmons 854 Was huge seed. Vine trained 180 degrees around until running south. Vine about 10 feet long. Male and female blossoms present. Hill 2 Holland 903 Vine about 10 feet long. Surprise early pumpkin set today! -- so obviously has female and male blossoms, but who is the father? But main vine rather thin and slightly kinked and cracked where it trails off my raised bed. Andersen 977 Vine about 10 feet long. Leaves a bit lighter shade of green. Seems to have more vine borers moth attracting properties. No female blossom buds yet. All plants have exploded in growth the past few days with finally some sun and warm weather. The first three weeks of June cold and wet and lots of thunderstorms and wind. I had thought I'd keep the Andersen 977 and the Larue 916 at first, but now these are the two vines with no female blossom buds, so I'm really muddled. I'd love to hear if anyone can tell me which two plants to keep and suggest why too. Thanks! -- Regards, Chris Wilbers Sioux Falls, SD --------------------------------------------------------------------- n*@ideasign.com
