Weekly measurements are as follows: 1790: DAP 54 1,330 pounds up 238 pounds for the week 34 pounds per day average. 2230: DAP 50 1,089 pounds up 196 pounds for the week 28 pounds per day average. Fusarium has really taken a toll on this plant. 2009 Paps: DAP 52 1,407 pounds up 273 pounds for the week 39 pounds per day average. This pumpkin is 75 pounds ahead of last years 2230 and averaging 7 pounds per day more. 2009: DAP 51 1,614 pounds up 301 pounds for the week with a 43 pounds per day average. Almost 300 pounds bigger than last years 2230 and averaging 12 pounds per day more,just amazing growth. Fans still running as we have hit a stretch of very warm humid weather. In the last few days we have received over 2.5 inches of rain from thunderstorms. Did a drench of Terrazole and Clerays on Wednesday and then followed up with Banol and TKO. Fingers crossed to keep disease in check. Main vines are "sapping" everywhere from all the rain, looks like another hot and humid one tomorrow before we start to return to "normal" on Monday.
