Pumpkins are still growing well, but I'm seeing lots of big blowouts in vines. I think that the organic fertilizer mix that I apply at root nodes along with micorhizzae may be the cause. Next year I will change that and broadcast the organic fertilizer and put just the micorhizzae at the root nodes. The cucumber beetles are thinning out after my last insecticide application, with most hiding in the male flowers. I guess the merit doesn't get into that part of the pumpkin plant.
