689 McWilliams measurements cir 81, ss 53 ee 52 total 186" est 146#. 17# per day gain. This is the best start we have ever had, and I hope it keeps on like this. 665 Lovelace cir 69 ss 50 ee 49 total 168" est 111#. 10# per day gain. 910 Young cir 54 ss 40 ee 40 total 134" est. 61#.
It has been very rainy the last 2 weeks and some plants are looking a little yellow. They got a light foliar feeding: 2 scooms of Miracle Gro Rose food 18-24-16 in 2 gallons of water for 7 plants. I went very light on the 689, as it has already blown up 1 small pumpkin on a secondary and another small one is splitting. On plants like this I like to keep at least 1 shock absorber to keep the main fruit from blowing up. I started culling pumpkins on the 665 Lovelace. I took one off today, with 2 more to go. All of them are around 40# and are holding back the main fruit.
Jacob will be back from the youth gathering in New Orleans tomorrow, so he will get some weeding chores. We had them under control until the rain, now the entire garden is over-run with weeds.
