My son is still asking: Can I enter my blue-grey pumpkin in the Giant Pumpkin weigh-off on 9/22?
Now the Kline pumpkin isn't taking, it's soft in places now.
The Gienger plant keeps flowering females, then pumpkins that look promising, but a couple of weeks later, soften and die. Today I spotted two greenish baby pumpkins that are still firm.
Anyone else in Southern California struggling this year with their pumpkins? Is it because of more days of hot weather (over 100F), especially during pollination time? This is our second season growing giant pumpkins. Our vines and leaves looked better and we didn't get powdery mildew, just no pumpkins, except that Jarrahdale blue-grey one.
