Long gourds are looking bad. The leaf fungus is coming on strong and no good gourds going yet. I will have to trim off all the bad leaves and give it the triple fungicide treatment. At this point I would be happy to just have a decent entry for the weigh-off.
Pumpkins are doing better. 1493 Witter Benson at 39 DAP estimated 519# gaining 22# per day. At this rate it will soon be our 2nd biggest. The 1928 Globus is 45 DAP, estimated 654# gaining 18# per day. The 359 Foss is 44 DAP, estimated 713# gaining 24# per day. Comparing the 359 to my personal best on August 12 it was 109# heavier and gaining twice as fast. In just 8 or 9 days it could beat my personal best and top 1000# by September 1. But a lot of bad stuff could happen.
