Main field pumpkin patch is shutting down for the year. Lots of PM, competition for moisture from nearby trees. Still we have lots of 60#+ pumpkins. Some should go over 80#. The 95,5 House pumpkin in the main AG patch was pulled yesterday. Lots of PM and another disease. The smaller young pumpkins were starting to rot.

The AG's are hanging in there. The 1493 should recover from the rabbit attack. No sighs of rot and it thumps like a rock, I'm sure the second pumpkin on the plant that got started under the cover of shoulder high leaves is taking some growth. It looks to be at least 400# now. Jacob's big ugly 1928 Globus seems to be solid, but the 359 almost rings like a bell when thumped. I hope it doesn't go too light.
