I dont like pollinating anything after the 10th of July. Last year was the first time in I dont know how long. Because of having to reset a main vine on the 1535.5 Barker/Pugh it will again be a post 7/10 pollination. Hopefully not too much after.

7/01 2118 baron x 2054 Wallace 4L
7/03 1652 Zappa x 1109 Jutras 5L SQ
7/07 2014 Paton x 2054 Wallace 5L
7/07 1652 Zappa X self 5L (back Up)
7/07 2118 Baron x 1535.5 Barker/Pugh 5L(back up )
7/09 2054 Wallace x 1535.5 Barker/Pugh 5L

So that leaves me with my 1535.5 Barker/Pugh pumpkin left. I appears about 4 to 6 days out which pollinating anything after the 10th has only been good for 2 pumpkins for me. One was a new PB at the time of 1272, the other was last year with a 1100+ pound balloon.

The 1525.5 Barker /Pugh wa 2145 McMullen x 2469 Daletas that developed a soft spot at 101 days old. I was set to go to a early weigh off that ended up being cancelled and it had to sit for nearly 3 weeks on that vine .
