Good luck this year everyone Sunday, April 12 View Page Going to be narrowing everything down to just 4 plants. 36+ seeds starting...with more not pictured in my closet. Not everyone knows what's happened in my life over the last year, but I nearly quit this hobby due to personal things... the solution....This year I'm going to have fun, try things I've always wanted to, and not worry so much about the little things. Growing a few of my own genetics will be fun, too! Monday, June 22 View Page After having to fully restart on May 11th, we are finally back in business with a pollination on both plants (Thank you Art!!!) 2190 Kaczenski (1885 werner x 102 kaczenski) in foreground and 741 Kaczenski (848 MacKenzie x 1109 jutras) in the background Wednesday, July 1 View Page Pollinated on 6/30/26..... 2190 Kaczenski x GREEN 1406 Kaczenski (2190 x 741 Kaczenski).. the 1406 fruit split last year despite estimating only 1038 lbs... going mega heavy unofficially.... the parent, the 2190 - had a "unique" pollinator (102 Kaczenski)...Art grew out a bunch of 1406's this spring and found one producing green fruit. The 2190 was an 1885 werner. Rolling with it if she takes in this heatwave. Keeping the faith Wednesday, July 1 View Page Backside, sorry for dim lighting. I work late Thursday, July 30 View Page "Hailmary" 18 DAP....2190 x open.. lost my first "keeper on DAP 12....Likely going to be the biggest day 20 I've had on a pumpkin..Open pollinated...(likely self-pollinated, other plant didn't have males open, lost that plant a couple weeks ago to disease) 2190 is super healthy, not going to grow any plant beyond the fruit. Crossing my fingers Hailmary has a perfect August and September. I'll get a plant photo up.
