I made an observation about our patch this year. 2 plants are growing taller and with heavier vines that the rest. The spot where they are growing had a lot of soil added in the fall of 2015 and had compaction/drainage problems last year. We lost the plants early to root rot, so I planted a fall cover of oats and a brassica mix. Brassicas have some of the same disease fighting properties as mustard. I won't be able to plant a fall cover this year with my scheduled knee replacement, but I will try a spring brassica cover crop next year. Just till it under ahead of the pumpkins and use more Pumpkin Pro.
