Re: George Brooks in Tewksbury, MA??? Anybody have any luck with the 1020 Papez?

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your feedback.

My 1020 produced a Flat Vine (looked like 4 vines in one), finally I cut it
to make it form a true single vine.  My luck with the pumpkin was no good,
all it produced were pumpkins that looked like prehistoric Clubs.... a 12 to
20 inch stem in length (Stem was about  5 inches + in diameter) with a
pumpkin that grew to about 20lbs and then died.

I had the same problem here, during the peak pollination times (Early July
to mid July and then again from Early August to Mid-August) we never got
below 80 degrees in the evening with high humidity and temps. it just killed
my growing season.

Glad to hear you got a 'good' pumpkin out of the 1020.
