Sorry no pictures today. =/ We've really just been fighting powdery mildew. I think we were watering too much and in doing so brought on the fungus because of the hot weather. Rookie mistake, but definitely learned a lesson there. We are seeing new life, so hopefully we can recover from the damage as we easily lost 25% of our main leaves. We have about five healthy pumpkins, but none of them are what I would call big pumpkins. In fact, our largest is actually smaller than another that's easily caught up to it. Anyway, my next post will include a picture of our pumpkins. None of them are large, but since we have a few I can claim success for this first grow season. I think next year we will do things much different and hopefully it won't be so HOT. I think the heat really stunted pumpkin growth overall...
