It has been a tough year to say the least. I had good intensions of doing a diary this year but a busy schedule prevented that. So I will get caught up now I guess. Last year I lost most of my plants to baseball size hail in a storm on 7/17. This year I lost most of my leaves to a hail storm on 7/15. Then what leaves I had left I lost to hail again on 7/23. To make things worse I lost 3 pollinations to hail with each storm. Add in all the wind and trees we have down this year it makes it hard to grow a big pumpkin. But, we are plugging along despite the damaged plants, foaming stumps and vine rot that came with all the rain in those storms. Got some pictures I will try to get up tomorrow. Lets just say I am not on pace to set any records.
