Pumpkin plants are progressing, although way behind normal. 998 Pukos continues to lead the pack with the main out 12-13'. Smallest plant is the 995* with the main at 8-9'. Females are showing up at 6-8 feet. I am just ignoring them and will wait for females further out.
Buried side vines on the 998 and 1132* today. Removed all tertiary buds and tendrils. Inoculated all nodes with RTI Mycrohizze and JumpStart. Shade structures erected over growing tips of main vines. Misting system set up and on timers misted 5 min out of 15min all day.
LG's are starting to clime. I was late getting them in the ground but the plants look great. 119" Vincent, 125 Urena and 118 Eaton are the line up. New individual trellis's not totally completed. Trellis's are now 156" high.
Direct seed giant sunflowers doing well at about 30" high.
Watermelons are starting to take off .....finally.
Giant pear Gourd doing well.
Transplanted Giant Tomatoes today. 2 x 5.58 Timm, 5.32, 5.0 Timm, 4.29, and a 2.65 Vincent. All got a drink of 10-52-10 solution.
Giant cabbage and kohlrabi are developing nicely.
I have done only one early insect control about two weeks ago. Have not had any bugs since. Have not applied any pHortress yet, but should start soon. Two applications of tea so far, one bacterial and one fungal.
Time has been scarce and weeds are a big challenge. I am taking a few days off later in the week and hope to get caught up.
Pictures to follow soon.
