It looks like the rest of the season might be a washout. The rain just won't quit. The gourds are half dead from all of the fungal diseases. The watermelons have been taken over by weeds: it has been too muddy to get in to pull them. The 655 Lovelace stopped completely and now the leaves on the main are all turning yellow. The 689 McWilliams is growing slowly and liiely won't make 800. I am hoping we don't lose more of the vines on the 910 Young, as it was a small plant to begin with. I hope it will make 700. Our best hope might be the 1275.5 Carlson-Petersen. It is still growing on a fairly healthy plant. But if the rain doesn't stop there will be no way we can get them out of the patch. It is just too muddy.
