Things are finally starting to go downhill. The 1355 birdbath grew severely over the stem and main vine, causing tremendous pressure. In an effort to releive the pressure I tried to cut off the end of the main, but hit the wrong spot and severed the pumpkin off the main. Oh well, I probably was doomed anyway.
The 1237 Horton is slowing way down. I have found numberous vine blowouts. I think the tremendous moisture is causing this. Some of the other pumpkins are still hanging in. The 1094 is becoming a birdbath and needs a tarp to keep the blossom end dry. The 994 will be a bright orange wheel. My 623 is doing remarkably well considering it is in about the poorest soil in the patch.
The fungus is spreading on the 114.5 Schnicker long gourd. Finally we have one gourd going but it is already getting brown spots. The 57 McWilliams gourd plant does not seem to have as much fungus, but it isn't as old either.
