These are the leaves on the 887 Keim plant (Earl pumpkin). Looking at these leaves I don't know how the pumpkin continues to put on the pounds but I'm not complaining. You can see I haven't cut off the new growth lately and probably won't, hoping it'll kind of replace the old, brittle leaves. I have sprayed a milk/baking soda solution every week since mid July (which is earlier then usual due to the warm humid weather early on) but PM has definitely taken over this plant, all the plants have it to some extent now. Last year I used this same solution and it seemed to prevent the PM, I didn't get it much at all last year and then very late. Only difference was last year I sprayed on the Fish/Seaweed, this year I drench with it, maybe that's the difference? Or it's just the delta in weather.
