Soil is fairly saturated and they are predicting heavy rain for tomorrow afternoon. The 3 plants with our best pumpkins on main vines also have smaller fruit on secondary vines. We be leaving them on the plant as "shock absorbers" to suck up excess moisture to prevent blow-outs. On the 1724.5 plant that had a bunch of main vine removed, we already had a small pumpkin split wide open. We have been fortunate. Down by the Missouri border they are in drought conditions, and just 2 counties north of us they had 40 inches of rain in the last 4 weeks.
