Pumpkins are doing better than I am. I'm having a very slow recovery from my illness and surgery. 1237 Horton is the best pumpkin so far, 11 days ahead of my previous personal best. 1355 Bhaskaran looks to be a huge birdbath. 994 is going to be a large orange wheel. The weeds are a real problem for the slower plants, since all the rain prevented a lot of weeding time. Despite the continuing monsoon season, we are well pleased with how the plants are doing. We need to get a couple tarps set up over the best pumpkins this week. For now they have white sheets for covers.
The fungus problem is still causing problems for the long gourds despite the use of 2 fungicides. I think we just need a whole lot less rain for them to thrive here.
