I pulled 2 of the 1200 Engel plants today. Pumpkins aborting, a couple vine borers, possibly some disease issues, and the continuing hot dry weather. The 1047 may be the next to go. The pumpkin I thought was going to take off aborted. It has some funky looking leaves. If couple of volleyball size pumpkins don't take off, I will pull it and plant brassica cover crop. The remaining 1200 does have a nice pumpkin going and it will get intensive care. We have strong storms coming in. Hopefully it has good rain by the time it gets here. It is coming from a direction where the hills and trees will hopefully slow the wind.
