Ordinarily this would be a VERY early time to put the plants outside, but the weather is acceptable and the plants are ready and were on the verge of rootbound. So on the right hand side is the battle of the 2054 Stricklers. On the left is 1753 Hodge, 1964 Friermood, and 1935.5 Caspers. Those were the best looking plants I have going so now we see how they do to narrow it down to once on each side. Back to back formation this year. Also it's hard to see, but back in the corner is the prospective pollinator, the 1363 Barker. That pumpkin was 24% heavy and it looks like it hasn't been used for very much according to Pumpkin Fanatic, so I'd like to how it does for me. I'm still not using any hoop houses this year. Temps are not much of a concern right now. We may see down to 45F a couple nights next week but that won't bother them. The only thing to be concerned about is severe weather with high winds and hail. I WILL cover them with something if bad storms pop up.
