It looks like our only long gourd will be lost to blossom end rot. Most of our field pumpkin leaves seem to be dying from the stump out. Not sure if it is age, disease or both. They did have a lot of PM and were probably planted a couple weeks too early. My big concern is that it seems to be spreading to the watermelons. We lost 2 melons to rot. One caused by a rabbit attack and another to unknown causes. We still have 3 left on each plant, with personal bests on both plants. AG's are still holding up well. I decided to hold off on the insecticide until tomorrow, as the cucumber beetles still aren't too bad. I'm switching from foliar feeding to root drench. I was noticing some residue on the leaves from the fertilizer. 22 days until we harvest for Anamosa Pumpkinfest, but some may stay in the patch another week for a later weigh-off.
