I think this is my first ever diary entry without a picture. The reason is that Greta, the fruit on my 505 McCracken, has stopped growing completely. Still not sure why but she looks like she is done for. The split in the shoulders still looks like it is healing and she still feels solid so there is something else going on that is not readily visible. The dozen or so squash bugs that got into my dome were almost all on this plant, so are they the culprit? Some of the old leaves on the plant are yellowing - it could have yellow vine disease I guess but it doesn't look like my diseased plants have looked in the past. For now I will leave her alone and if she starts getting soft I will do an autopsy and see what I can find. Never a dull moment!
