Second pollination on the 1305 McMillin 5/1/26.It's really hard for me to believe I have a plant this big that was just a seed being sanded on my kitchen counter 53 days ago. I usually average 67 day till pollination, and the first pumpkin pollinated when the plant was only 40 some days old.

This will likely be the keeper, I really like the size of this pumpkin and flower compared to the first one, plus it has 26 secondary's behind it to really push it. Only downside would be if this pumpkin doesn't take I'm out of room in my greenhouse and would have to terminate main vine and rework some side vines which would be a total mess, hopefully I won't have to worry about that, hopefully.
