I ended my diary early last year got bored The 963.4 did get to 243 kg (535.7 lbs) I let it grow until september 31 after i spotted plant Rot so we rolled it onto the tractor and drove it to a neighbors farm and weighed it on a animal scale (Didnt tape in before weighing i stopped taping it in early september) Well tried to keep it until Halloween then 2 weeks later spotted it deflated the walls were terrible at its thickest it was 3 cm on the bottom 1 cm!! Probably due to calcium deficiency and boron So my question is are the seeds fine? I know they shoud be fine even though plant had mosaic virus but im wondering if theres any side effects of the virus or are the seeds normal?? (no photos of the fruit sadly all i got is the dap 30 picture)

Ive ordered some small things for my pumpkins 40 percent shade netting (only gonna use it to prevent greenhouse overheating) 42 ground staples for easier vine burying 500 baggies 52 aphid traps (not going to let aphids ruin my season again) 4 usb/ solar powered fan they use almost no electricty and there pretty effective i had two last year but yeah lets just say someone rolled a pumpkin over them during harvest Anyways they could be useful because less plugs to manage or maybe connect one to a powerbank

A local store closed in my city and they set up a shop for a month where they sell seized items from customs well they sold these labeled as drip irrigation but no there misters!!! Im even happier they ran me around 5 usd a bag (10 emiters 10m pipe so now i got myself a misting system to cool em down ;). (Of course a small scale one maybe for the greenhouse)
