| The break hasn't slowed growth... new watering system has been great for burying several taps along the side and main vine. Hopefully the break in the main vine holds- scarred over pretty well. |
 |
| First open female flower- six segment. Is that a good thing? Need to read up... yeah, 5-6 segments are the best, but also just read that EVERY segment needs to be pollinated, so it can cause 6 segment flowers to abort more often. Hope I got enough pollen around in there. Good info here: http://www.bigpumpkins.com/nepga/ViewArticle.asp?id=20 |

| Got to the pollen from the only male flower just in time- the bees move in early on these hot days. Mark has pollinated two so far, at about 8' and 10'. |
 |
| Paved a new runway for the MT 76 off the Island of Misfit Plants- could be a solid backup to the 953.. but hopefully just extras for carving |
