Sandbagging begins... Tomatoes are doing awesome. Pumpkin plant is dying, it's doing terrible.

I lacked confidence until now. Lots of issues. Things finally looking great. Latest mix of fish, boron, manganese, wood ash, and ammonium sulfate has the tomato plants looking very good. It's hard to see in the pic, but they may now be the best plants I've ever had? I checked the ph I'm trying to be between 6.5 and 7.0. I may have BER'd some not realizing the ph of one water source is too high (treated municipal) and the other source is too low (irrigation district).

My main strategy for beating porkchop is to let him obsess happily about his pumpkin all summer.... Who says I have to fight fair.
