crazy growth in the heat and harpo has some stem side splits forming. somewhat shallow at this point and captan was applied after this pic this morning. my 1446 werner pumpkin had similar size and depth of splits along rib lines near the stem area in 2008 and that pumpkin made it to the show. will Harpo make it to the show....or will she blow? at least so far out of the entire Chicago area we have gotten the least amount of rain...maybe 1 or 1.5 inches the last 2 days combined. other areas have seen 7 inches in 3 hours....yikes.....i got lucky there. more on the way so hopefully i keep dodging the brunt of it cuz this girl needs no more pressure. if anything at all, i really want to hold this girl together for mature seeds cuz i really like the cross. i am glad if i have to contend with splits, they are on this side of the pumpkin. fan is blowing and there is no weeping at this point. thanks for the curveball mother nature....you always have to keep my mind a frettin'. lol. chalk this up to one of the whackier seasons i have ever grown in.
