snuck over to my competition, mr vince. He is living up to his name again as gourdzilla! Plant is totally out of control over the whole driveway :) lol. Hey Vince, when you read this, your plant is nuts! lol Your fruit is bigger than mine too! :-D

My pumpkin on the 980 is 24 days old. Honestly her growth is not impressive as of now. I was waiting for her to take off and she keeps saying no so far, doing 19 to 20 lbs a day and not budging yet.

Hey Chris, we have something in common, my 980 has mosaic virus now too. I wasn't sure on my burn, cause it keeps coming and looks unique, but it is subtle. But I saw a small pumpkin for the first time that looked blochy instead of normal. It is on the very end of the plant, so hopefully I'm ok for my fruit. Too many aphids this year!!! Merit slowed them down but they are still popping up even after drenching. Hopes of a new personal best do not look good right now. I'm wondering if my soil report, which mysteriously seems a little more out of balance every year is hurting my growth. Well, we have done out best, so time to be thankful for whatever we get blessed with from above.
