Had to take down most of the hoop plastic and water pumpkins in the 90 degree heat yesterday. Best looking plants are 359 Foss and 1493 Witter-Benson. The long gourds are starting to climb; 139.25 Ansems is growing the fastest. I heard from my main gourd competitor in Anamosa, and he has one of my 129's over twice the size of our best gourd plant. I gave him plenty of seeds and he started plants for two more growers. If the weather cooperates, we could have some good gourds by October. Our tomato plants (for eating, not competition) are looking better than ever. The ones I started in bigger peat pots are way ahead of the ones I bought in the store in root bound 4 packs.
