aThe main on the 1724.5 was looking worse, the pumpkin on it had aborted, so we cut a bunch off. We will try to salvage a pumpkin on a secondary. The 748 that had a messed up flower is quite misshapen. We will go with the later pollination. Jacob helped me get fabric and sand under the best main pumpkins on the 1579 and 1710. No sign of PM on any plants; the Daconil and neem oil are working. Long gourds are getting a little bit of the blight. I keep cutting off diseased leaves and spraying Companion, neem oil, Agri Fos and Daconil. I hope we can get some decent gourds this year.
