919 has slowed way down. 866 is still doing 20+ per day with at least another week of warm weather ahead. I hope it continues and tops 1000#. It is starting to ooze from tiny cracks on the shoulders. The 928 has 2 white fruits approaching 200 and 300. I'm pouring on the water and ferts to see what it can do. I finally have a personal best long gourd with some younger ones that are growing even faster. They are getting plenty of attention too. The sweet corn patch is all mowed down with several inches of chemical free grass clippings added for organic matter. I just need rain to soften the ground so I can till it in. I will add some Chickety Doo Doo to compensate for all the nitrogen the organics will tie up. I have plenty of finished compost to add as well, and it will get a cover crop if it ever rains. The drought and critters wrecked the field pumpkins. Next year they get electric fencing too.
