Welcome opening of Caleb-3 this morning:
Pollination of 3rd Female and very yellow Squmpkin this morning at about 20 ft mark on the main vine at the S curve.
5 Lobes all perfectly shaped with 17 sides behind her.
Going back to green with the fast father in 1-Male pollinator off of the 1500* Tobeck.

8 am 78*F. 75% Overcast and 72% humidity.
Oscillating fan placed on main vine section.
Expected high of 93*F today makes this difficult.
Shade cloth and misting also with auto wobbly sprinklers is key today.

Noon now and thermometer sits at 88*F with 55% Humidity equates to 94, so not too bad yet. Have 3 fans running now. Radar is clear with brisk south west winds driving straight up lake St. Clair and Huron. The cold front is still several hours away on the other side of Lake Michigan.
