pappy on the 1209 is 77.5" circ today on day 20 at 5:30 am and Clegg Jr. on the 1493 at 18' is 29" circ on day 10. the 18 footer was kept and the 11.5 footer was culled 3 days ago. i will take some pics after work. i still haven't started my drench program due to heavy misting in this heat and high uv days with little wind. i am already pushing the water a bit so no sense over doing it at this early stage with too many ferts also. i will wait until wednesday and then do it every wednesday with the 6' lightweight plastic tube and watering cans with the top removed and pour down tube and reach to the interior areas while on the walking boards. the boards are left in place all season all the way to the main every 3rd row of secondaries. biota max, thrive and actinovate will be spread tonight under the leaves and on soil with a direct stream spray with my pump back pack sprayer to reach interior good coverage. not many areas left to fill up patch. spidering remaining secondaries and i have about a pound left of the original 30 pounds of pumpkin pro for the year and one more vine burying session and all 2300 sq ft will be filled. with all mains for different reasons deadheaded at the pumpkin this year which is a first, i now have one at 18.5', one at 18', and one at 15' with all of them having their entire plots of plant in front of the pumpkin. minus the areas where the pumpkins sit and the surrounding edges for walking makes it about 675 sq ft of plant average before the pumpkins and zero after. i am all in.
