Looks like game over for this season. The 1685 Scherber and 800 McMullen both aborted their pumpkins around day 40 and the back ups aborted around day 16. Cucumber beetles and squash bugs are in the patches, got into the screen house and multiplied faster then I could squash them. My 2075 Connolly had the same problem last year and while I abandoned that patch this year, the beetles still found me. It is too tough doing this organically. 1000sf of pumpkin plant going in the garbage soon. I’ll have to take next year off to let the beetles vacate.
