Pumpkins are doing much better. The pictue shows a Tobeck 1135 (not sure of the #, I'll double check tonight)my biggest one. I have 4 pollinated fruit, two on the biggest plant, one on main (this one is 15 DAP 30.5" as of this morning) and one on a secondary that's about 27". I have two other plants but everything is a getting a bit crowded so one may have to go.
I am still nervous about the leaves, still browning, one by one on the ends and my vines are still curling and ripping out their own roots. I sprayed for spider mites but the leaves keep dropping, one by one. The newer leaves look good though. Hoping to see if the old leaves will just be replenished with the greener ones.
Compost tea has been added to my routine and the leaves look perkier already. I am buying the compost tea from a local nursery (finally, something they have that has been useful!) I did make myself a batch and it turned out pretty well but I haven't had time to collect ingrediants to brew. I am going to add the fish fertilizer, because the stuff just doesn't smell like fish and it's needed.
