Bottoms up pumpkin went belly up. Blossom end split. But the bell shaped pumpkin on that plant has kicked the growth up to 19 pounds per day. The 1200 is plodding along at 10 pounds per day. I will be happy if it keeps it up until October. The 899 has slowed to a crawl. The groundhog keeps eating up all of the unprotected field pumpkins. He is bold, ran through the electric fence right in front of me as I was mowing. I guess he knew I didn't have my revolver. Powdery mildew is moving in on field pumpkins. Good news is that the cucumber beetles are gone.
