Part 9 of my YouTube is up. This week I took a tissue test to see what the plants need for nutrients. Buried the advancing secondaries - broadforking ahead of them. Spotted my first Squash Vine Borer. Fertilized via overhead watering. Pollination s are going to happen very soon. YouTube video

Unfortunately had to take the 2014 Paton out due to CYVD. The pumpkin was doing good initially but stopped growing completely at around 29 DAP. Secondary vines went straight up.

The season was going well until July came along. We had a LOT of rain and unseasonably cold temperatures. My main patch is next to a swampy area and got completely saturated with water which really made the plants and pumpkins suffer. So nowhere close to a PB this year. Hopefully my two pumpkins hold up with their stem splits so I can take something to the weigh-offs. It's been fun making my YouTube series though!
