We finally have some long gourds trying to grow. Jacob and I got some straightened out on the trellis and culled a few that got twisted up. Jacob on the ladder and me steadying it seems to work best. We are starting up feedings, drench with Schultz tomato food, tomorrow foliar with the Schultz and some molasses. Higher potash and higher sugar on the leaves to signal the plant to send more to the fruit. We will do more culling in a few days. We just hope we can get them grown before the leaf disease gets too bad. Will trim off more bad leaves and spray more fungicide.
