#1 - Whopper - Day 9

Doesn't look very promising. It is closer to the ground today. There still aren't any other female blossoms on the Whoppers.

The BM/DGA are popping out new female blossoms all over the place.

I think you are right R2elk. Doesn’t seem to be growing. Hate to see that. I just seen a add for the world record pumpkin from last year (2749) selling for a $1000.00 dollars a seed!!!! Just be thankful that it’s not one of those seeds you would be royal pissed!!!!

No need to worry about seeds that expensive. I would have to be in a much warmer growing zone first, I would also need to be money or award motivated which I am not. I would also need to have a lot higher discretionary income to waste that amount on a seed.
