I did some vine pulling on the 1143 this afternoon. Overall it was a very healthy plant. Only one secondary showed any sign of discoloration on the leaves and just a tiny bit of root rot. No borers, the stump was in great shape. The problem was weeds and critters. The foxtail got ahead of me and hid the fresh groundhog burrow. The critter got past the electric wires. I had chicken wire wrapped around the pumpkin, but the rodent was able to push it op against the pumpkin and shew on it. It might have had mouse damage, I will see after I get the pumpkin chopped up and out of the patch. My fence had 2 hot wires down low and one at nose level of deer. I added another low wire a little bit outside that. Next year the main fence will have 3 wires and the outer fence will have at least 2 hot wires.
