The 454 is dead in the water. Everything aborted. Still wet. The 566 is toast . The only plant left is a 1791 Holland. It only has about 500 sq ft to grow in. Getting hot now so I don't expect much.

The 1791 Holland and 1,038.00 Giarrusso have now filled their small spots. Planned on pulling one of the two. But they are all I have going. The 1038 was a number 7 backup. It has pumpkins all over it. This crazy hobby. Ya never know. Pollinated one on the 1791 6-18 hope it sticks.

Thinking of going orange next year. With my heat it would be tough to beat 1405. Now its PB time . Topping 818 and getting to GPC are goals now. Howard Dill would be bonus.
