| The last two years
my biggest pumpkin came from the plant showing the most vigor from day
one. I've heard stories that early vigor is not predictive, but then
I see a plant like Geneva Electric (my 922 Emmons), and I know that no
other plant in the patch has a chance to beat her.
At 3 weeks old, she is twice as tall and has three times the leaf surface area as her brethren in the patch. Even the diameter of the stem is more than the others. She is starting to vine now and crouch down for the big race across the patch. My patch is gonna be way too small to be much of a challenge. Will all this enthusiasum translate into a bigger pumpkin? We shall see....
I set up a web cam
seven days ago to watch this one grow. It can be found at:
In seven days, it's gone from a sprout to a significant statement and completely fills the view area of my web cam. Just flip to the first picture to see how much it's grown in seven days - very impressive. Today I'll have to increase the view area on the web cam to show the race across the patch. This cam updates daily at about 8 pm pacific time. vince
