you simply can't add that much rain to a plant and not expect things to go wrong. coupled with 10 days of 90 and 100 heat and humidity temps prior to ...stick in 7 to 8 inches of rain in there over 2 days....follow it up with more 90 plus heat and you got MR. Foamy!!!!....started tuesday evening and this pic was taken wednesday...things are not looking so good...but it's apumpkin right...You can only do what you can do...
Plant is pretty much terminated and growth rates have dropped dramatically as has all the fruits on all the plants we are growing. Good to see it happening with all of them ..hence you can lean towards it's a mother nature weather related issue verses something is particularly wrong with this or that plant. From all the heat and humidity the late plants appear to have been thru a war already...and the fair plants look worse...Hang in there the pain is half way over already!!LOL!
