No long gourds this year. My second planting is done, lost to the same brown fungus that has wiped out the plants the past 2 years. I don't know how to handle this situation, as I have had the gourds in two different spots. It must be something in the soil. My plan is to dig out a big hole and fill it with potting soil and then mulch wekk when planting so the plants don't get soil splashed on them by rain. And use a systemic fungicide from day 1.
I watered the pumpkins last night after the high heat. Some were starting to wilt a little on the new leaves. Jacob will be home today and will give them a light sprinkle at least 3 times to keep them cool. Luckily a cold front is due this evening.
