well this season is officially kicking my butt! after the late start to corn seed maggots now I have great plants either one could have been top plant in the patch. I go out today for my daily "maintenance" and nock the blossom end off of a pumpkin that was going to open Monday morning on the 1354. the 1048 is still a little more aggressive plant with FAT main. but the first to pumpkins on the main didn't reach maturity to even get pollenated. it could be the heat or not enough water or too much N. so I added an extra 15 minutes in my watering routine, got some ice gugs ready, and haven't fertilized in 4 days. I will hold of on fertilizer except a light foliar for a week. last keep my dumb @$$ away from pollenated kins!
