Left the patch with a sick feeling. The 1200 Engel is now taping 931# but seems to be getting soft on the top. Growth has been slow for the last 2 weeks. I fear the end is near for this one.

Then the 1143 Engel showed no growth over the last 4 days, stuck at 496#, And I found a secondary vine showing the sickly yellow-brown color of the disease that too out 3 plants last year. I removed the sick vines and will apply fungicides, but it is probably too late for that plant.

Bright spot is the ugly white 899. It is taping 624# and gaining 21# per day. And the new pumpkin on the 1047.5 seems to be taking off and growing fast.
