1710 Stevens/Hopkins is gone, rotting out at the blossom end. Will pull that plant, seed radish and turnips. Next year the plot that held this plant and the 1579 Carlson/Petersen will get the mustard treatment. Sane for the plot where we lost the 1724 Steil. I need to cut back next year, and get some soil in better condition.
The 1716 Schmit is at 575#, adding a little over 10 pounds per day. PM is getting bad. The 288 Buglio is 790#, gaining 15# per day. We need to try to slide it back to take off the stem stress. I found a pumpkin hiding out on this plant, maybe 75#. I think we will keep it just to take pressure off the main fruit. With not much left in the patch we need to keep it going, We have a couple late sets on the 1047.5 that might have 500# potential for a late weighoff if weather cooperates. Long gourds doing good, bushel gourds OK considering the site and weather. Watermelons are about average for us despite the real slow start. I have just 8 days to get things in order so Jacob isn't overwhelmed after my knee surgery. I just know it will be nerve wracking not getting to check on them for several weeks.
