Jack, on the 1501 Wagner has significantly slowed his growth - only 2 more inches on the OTT in 2 days – est 530. The stem has some small slits and mush on it – uh oh. Aggressively treated with a stiff rub of a paste of Bordeaux mixture (copper) Sevin Dust, Ortho Home Orchard Dust (Captan, Malathion) and a some Heritage granules. Washed out the bowl and put the wash in a watering can, added a gallon and washed all the pumpkins and their stems on the 2 vines with it. Hope for the best. DAN: any ideas how to get Jack rockin’ again – maybe I was too timid with the amount of potash I broadcast a couple of weeks ago.
All the kins on the 2043 are 35- 40” circ and growing nicely. 2 smaller ones started on the 1501 – will let them be until Jack gets movin’ again.
