Very cool spring and early summer changed into a heat wave for a week or two. Back to cool and wet again today. This year looks like another waste of time.
PUMPKIN: 1694 Meier - waste of time - day 20 and 51 lbs. Worst ever.
SQUASH: 1088 Horde* - all aborted except last one (with deformed lobes) which I just got pollinated, so well over a month behind.
FIELD PUMPKIN: Just pollinated a few on 94 Lyons and 85 Eaton. Two very good plants.
MARROW: Just set a few on the 73.6 and 206.5 Wursten plants. Looks like the 206.5 will be a true marrow.
HEAVY CUCUMBER: 2 of 3 drowned and last one rather small.
LONG CUCUMBER: 2 of 3 still going (picture), the best one still several centimeters short of my (and EGVGA) record of 85.5 cm. Not sure it will make it.
BEETROOT: had to pull all but 2 and one of those went to seed.
CARROT: nothing worth mentioning.
LONG GOURD: pollinated several on first 122 Wursten plant - 2nd 122 has no females at all.
TOMATO: got 6 of 7 plants still going - 4.91 Nieuwenhoff leading the pack at about 2lbs.
RADISH: two going, but one has already gone to seed. Weather is just too instable.
