Day 85 today. Trucking along in some coldarse, wet, overcast weather. Overall health of Pumpkin is nice. She is still throwing small superficial growth cracks. They are being managed daily. I did loose a secondary vine to rot. 40+ healthy leaves gone. The real bummer was the location. That vine entered the main at 9in away from the pumpkin stem. No playing around with rot that close to pumpkin...the vine had to go. A nasty rain storm rolled through Friday night dumping over 2" of rain in less than an hour. The erosion of my sand base was extensive. I repaired that nonsense and got her high and dry again. Here is a picture of the damage. Where is the sand?.. Down lower in the patch! Good grief.
