The 1079 Podraza 11 that I thought was foaming was actually rot, the pumpkin got dull and died, so I cut off the rotted stump just to see how the plant does, its still growing even with the damaged leaves.

I pulled my drip tape and moved it over to the last plant the 1217 Zappa 11', it had the main stem split and I thought it was a goner, I let it grow wild,but I did end the vines and kept it weeded.

I slid in the drip tape (the vines are not buried) under the vines, and ran them parallel with the main, so it would stay dry, this would have been done sooner but I only had enough tape for one plant.

The pumpkin is small,but has noticeable growth each day, a week ago it was about basketball size.
