The rain won't quit, and now it is beastly hot. Pumpkin growth has slowed some. The 1237 Horton stopped growing for a week now. I think a vine borer got to it. All the rain prevented timely insecticide applications and gave the bugs a chance. The 1355 HBhaskaran that I thought I killed is still growing about 14# per day. There is a little vine after it that must be feeding it some. I will let another pumpkin grow on that plant, as it will have around 60 days to grow before weighoff. Our best prospects now appear to be the 1135 Bhaskaran and 623 McWilliams. I think they have potential to go over 1000# and 800# if nothing else goes wrong. We have one long gourd that is growing quite well despite all the fungus problems.
