Things are going ok at our big patch. After losing 6 plants out of 12 to disease, the other remaining plants are also suffering from various degrees of Mosaic as well. We've decided to prune all the growth below the plant as we feel it causing more harm than good. Despite this, we have 6 pumpkins going. The pride of the patch to this point is the 668.9 Kruger. Its got a funny shape and appears to be getting a dill ring, a first for me. But its growing over 20 lbs a day. The 1037 Gantner Bird is going well (82 lbs in three days) as is the plant in this picture, the 559 Fraley. This will be a nice Orange one. Its gained 23 lbs per day in the past 3 days and weighs an estimated 286 lbs today (day 29).
