Look what the bees did for us on the 1965 Brandt. Judging by its size it must have pollinated around July 30, 2 months before weighoffs start. It is close to a drainage ditch and may be hard to load, but we will worry about that later. It is on the very back secondary that I ran to the edge of the plot, then turned to run parallel to the main. It is about 2 rows deep into the sweetcorn plot. It has a huge plant to feed it. We just let this plant go after the first pumpkin quit on us. I guess this is what you call a happy accident. We will take it.
