Nothing to take a photo of yet. Pumpkins are all aborting. My 2 best plants lost the main tips to the heat. 2 of Jacob's plants showing the first signs of the disease that wiped us out a few years ago. Everything has beeen treated for it so we just wait and see. Nothing to pollinate tomorrow, not even on secondaries. Forecast for next 7 days is low to mid 90's and no rain. Field pumpkins are growing yellow squash, big gourds and white, lumpy pear shaped things. Farmers around here really need rain. Corn is curling up and the pastures are all dormant and grazed down to the soil. This is worst hot dry spell since 1988. Only good news from our patch is that the watermelons and long gourds look better than ever. They must like the heat.
