I tried 2 shots of Anthesis: the 1579 that was lost to disease and one on the 1965 that aborted. That's the chance you take. The 962.5 McWilliams with half a stump has a pumpkin set on the main. And the main is half broken off a couple feet past the pumpkin. Luckily most of the plant is behind the fruit. The 1047.5 has one set on the main and 2 on secondaries. So far they appear to be going orange and have good shape. Jacob and I are considering to try for 2 pumpkins on this plant, hoping for a Howard Dill contender. If we do we will feed this one a little more to try to keep decent size. Weather has been fluctuating between nice, sunny, low humidity to hot and humid. We have been getting adequate rain, but it looks like we may be getting hot and dry. Storms are running through the area right now.
