We are out of the long gourd competition again. We had a skinny 7 footer hanging this morning. We didn't have a chance to tie it up on the trellis until this evening, When Jacob and I got to the garden, it was on the ground in 2 pieces. But it already had a rust spot near the blossom so it wouldn't have lasted.
At least the field pumpkins are looking good, We have a couple measuring around 90#, one that looks to be a bit bigger, and one that looks to be quite a bit bigger. PM is thick, we have weeds and vines from the recently deceased pumpkins shorting out the electric fence. We got some chicken wire and woven fencing around the best ones. Rain is coming in tonight. As soon as we can we will be pulling vines, hoeing weeds, seeding cover crops. I probably will add some more hot wires to keep the groundhogs out.
