I promised a picture this time, so here all you go. This pumpkin was very small only a few days ago. It has now grown much larger than our "largest" pumpkin which seems to have stopped growing. =/ I really had high hopes, however I'm sure the powdery mildew attack didn't help it at all. However, I think we have finally got a handle on it after 'kingoffarmerz' recommended we try "Bonide" Copper Fungicide. I drenched every living leaf with it and I think it worked. I wish I would have used it from the beginning. I might have been able to save a lot more of our leaves and you'll probably be able to notice the the loss we took from this picture. Big thanks to 'kingoffarmerz' though for that info. and for his recommendation to cut back on the water. =)
