I am still hoping for rain here. It has been very dry. I hope we get a shower on Sunday. Then it looks like things are going to get hot. Mid 90's by Wednesday. A couple of patch observations; I love the 1299.5 Wolf. It will be big and it will be orange. I am still waiting for more YVD symptoms on my 1426 LaRiviere. Maybe I am seeing some sort of deficiency. That would be great news. So for the time being the 1426 remains in the patch and it seems to be rock solid. Fingers are crossed. My 1245 Berard seems to have a hole in the blossom end. I stuck a pigweed stem up the crack and it met resistance. So maybe it doesn't go into the cavity. If it doesn't rot, I know I am good. My two best pumpkins are the 1299 Wolf and 1642 Sperry. The 1245 Berard isn't too far behind. I hope to get some more pictures posted come August. I feel that we have had some good growing weather in this part of the country. I hope to see some big numbers come weigh-off time.
