The 1426 Lariviere has stopped growing, and the fruit does not feel firm enough to me. I will leave it for a few more days, I am hoping I am wrong. My 323 LaRiviere squash is also showing YVD on one of it's vines. The squash is definitely a beast. Already my personal best. I will be sad the day it rots. I will leave it until then. I did hit the plants with a foliar spray of mancozeb, just in case it is a manganese deficiency. I was hopeful at first but as time progresses I think I may be kidding myself. I have never had YVD on a mature plant that is already deadheaded and just growing fruit. I just hope I can keep things together and have something to weigh come September. I will get pictures up like I promised, it will be August in a couple of days.
