Rough day for pumpkins. The end of the replacement main on the 1293 was getting a sickly color and all of the pumpkins on it aborted. Fearing disease, I cut it off and found multiple vine borers. Evidently the insecticide failed here like it did on one field pumpkin. We have one set on a back secondary about basketball size, so we will go with that.
The pumpkin on the replacement main of the Caspers plant aborted at just over basketball size. We lost one on that vine a couple days ago, but we have one around 100# on a back secondary we will keep. I need to do some work to keeping it from turning into a birdbath, The fruits on this plant are all wheel shape.
On the bright side, we have a great shaped volley ball size pumpkin on the 1047.5 and a few that might take hold on the 1200 Engel plants. And the watermelons are looking great. They need some weeding where they grew off the weed fabric.
