Just wanted to give a quick update since it's been a while once again. All plants have one set pumpkin on them - the heat really messed with pollinations this year and I wasn't able to get any more than that to set on any of my plants. Most of those pumpkins are at day 16 and 17 except for the 1418 Snyder, that's at day 12. All are looking good with pretty nice stem angles and such. The 275 Van Hook is the best grower so far, it was at 60.25 inches circumference on day 15. The 275's main vine rot has healed nicely too, it took me three tries to get it all out but the dry weather has helped clear it up. Aphids continue to pester me on all plants but I am on them every chance I get, and all systems are go.
