After work it took me about two hours to prune and tie up all 70 of my mater plants. About the right number of plants for me without growing pumpkins. Maybe next year I won't even plant a pumpkin.I am seeing first truss mega's on about 50% of the plants. Unfortunately, they are 1 to 2 weeks early. I am hoping some of the single first trussers will throw a mega on the second. Growing for a specific date is difficult. Over the weekend mulched all the plants with about 8 inches of Rye straw. Hoping this will help with late August-September disease pressures. It looks rather pretty..too bad I-phone can't capture the effect of green mater plants surrounded by bright yellow straw.
