Crap! It´s been a hot and dry June this year (especially the 2nd half), and we´ve had some higher than usual aphid pressure (and the aphids probably have been dirtier than usual, I reckon). What would you do if you were a poor little starving aphid sitting on some poor weeds, running out of juice? Right, you would fly to the nearby pumpkin oasis (and spread whatever diseases you carry). Found the first signs of virus infection, pretty early this year. The first and most signs appeared on the 1965 Brandt plant (the weakest plant in my patch), but some other plants are showing some first signs, too.
