Re: Thanks


     Hi there, I am in Sunny California and I start my vines inside before 
the last frost date.  I learned here to start early because the temp gets up 
and plant stress is great.  Right now we are in the mid 80's all week and my 
plants do great!  I have all my vines at about 6 to 7 feet and the big max 
pumpkins I am growing are the only ones with fruit.  They have been set for 
about a week and have 10 feet vines.  My AG's don't have fruit but are about 
6 feet long and one has a female flower starting, I plan on polinating it 
about June 7-14 which is about 60 days from germinating.  I planted my Ag's 
on April 10th, about 2 weeks after I wanted to, if I had done it on time I 
would have pumpkins polinated by now but I think the later start will help 
with competition and now that I have misters there shouldn't be a big 
problem with heat.
