I took photos on the 24th of August, but they ended up on the wifes laptop. So no pictures to post. On the 28th the 1028 Johnson squash went down due to a blossom end splint. It was fed to the cattle. I now have a tie for largest in the patch with the 583 Michalec fruit and the 1005 Mombert fruit. Everything is slowing down and I won't measure again until maybe Friday, that way I can't be too disappointed with my numbers on until then. We've had some of and on heavy rains the past couple days and then the sun comes out. The 583 has developed a stem split. It's only 3" deep, but bears watching. It will be a disappointment if it doesn't make it as it was stunning that it grew at such a rate for a while that it caught and passed everything else in the patch. I expected so little from that one baseds on it's late start and unfavorable position on a close in secondary that I never put anything under it so it sits right on the soil. It also was a slow grower early on. Now the 724 Perham is the runt of the patch along with the 857 Platte squash.
