The weather has cooled off and pumpkin growth has slowed. We need some rain. 2 pumpkins now around 500#, 2 more close behind and 2 with basketball size fruits. I'm having some stem stress issues and minor soft spots on the 1351 and 1674. I had to do some surgery on the 1674 vines as some leaves were looking like our old disease problem may be starting up again. Time for another Aliette application. Somethig seems to be digging in the 866.5 but we have probed around in the hole and can't find it. Jacob did get it treated with fungicide. The weeds are growing like crazy and keeps up busy keeping them from shorting out the electric fence. Cucumber beetles are bad, and I sprayed bifenthrin yesterday. Time for last Merit application soon.
