LanTerra Update : Wild top growth on AGP and field pumpkins is hindering increases. I was away for seven days from the patch resulting in a very difficult chore of cleanup.
1778 Daletas 12 > 101'CC the late set AGP now has a serious stem split all thee way to the main vine. I may have very limited size on the fruit. Better luck next year but still hope to keep it growing to 200" or so.
209 Werner 12. 24" CC today and a few others in smaller stages. Plant is the best I have ever had.
4.51 Landry 11. I now have several mega blooms started and or growing on several plants. The best is a 5 cluster on an early plant. It is sitting at 20" CC today and growing 3/4" per day. The fruit is young and very ugly, just the way I like to see them. Have not recently seen hormworms so the attack of them is over for now.
Cabbage are going ok and seamed to have recovered from the caterpillar attack a couple of weeks ago.
Very pesticide use in the patch this year. In fact I have only sprayed the cabbages three times. The AGP Field pumpkins and maters have not seen insecticides at all.
No fungicide use at all either. No signs of any issues either. Instead I am relying heavily on bacteria, fungi and phosphites as my controls. It sure is good to grow in a new patch.
