I have had to make more room for my plants by letting them grow through their wind barriers. All in all patch is looking good for the high temps in the upper 80's. Might consider boards next year due to some serious compaction on my paths. Saturday, July 18 View Page My best pumpkin of unknown lineage at 14 DAP.

Monday, July 20 View Page He who shall not be named trucking along at 16 DAP Monday, July 20 View Page Number 2 pumpkin looking good at 15 DAP Friday, July 24 View Page By best kin @ 20 DAP, 163" OTT, 70" CC. Growth of secondaries and mains has pretty much went to a trickle, I assume the fruit is taking all the juice? Also wondering if I should be giving any small does of N since the plant is getting 0-52-34 along with seaweed foilar spray, and calcium mg foilar? Friday, July 24 View Page Lack of Nitrogen? Weather has been sunny in low 80's but seems too uniform to be sun/heat damage. If anyone has any information an email at [email protected] would be nice. Thanks!
