Another day of rain and there is no way I can grow anything competitive outside this year. We do have a couple 200-300 pounders off small plants inside the tunnel. The 2323 could not get anything going over 75 pounds before they aborted or split. Watermelon plants are sitting in water most the time and have lost 3 plants so far. The biggest pumpkin we had at another place was on fire till all the rain and humidity and now has not gained a pound in 2 weeks at around 600 pounds. It was uncovered for a tour when I was not there and they forgot to cover it and the heat index was over 110 degrees. I came back after 5 pm and the pumpkin was so hot to touch and I believe it cooked it.
