I’m assuming this is day 20? If so you are right in step with the Patons. Janet has really upped your game this year!

Hey Dave did you cut the main vine or keep it going? Looking good so far!

Oh and get some sand (or perlite) on that board it's black so it'll heat up like crazy

And that’s with a sister pumpkin on the vine. When will you cull the second?

Janet is always upping my game !! She's a winner and a huge help lol. As for the main vine, yes it's still on but will be terminated soon as I'm running out of room in the greenhouse.As for the black plastic, I'm not too worried as Janet has sewed a triple layered ReMay blanket for the pumpkin cover. It breathes. It dries easily. It's light. And Glenn , the 2nd pollination will be cut off today because I always follow your 20 day rule. This year I will be cutting a quarter of the the stem so as not to shock the big one. Thanks for the cheers Ian.
