It�s been a long time,,, for those that know me you guys have been great in helping and doing what I need to do to at least get a 1000 pound fruit to the end.
2 months ago ( right after I pollinated ) I caught a server case of pneumonia and was in and out of the hospital. I lost 25 pounds,,,energy gone and I�m just now starting to get back to life. There was a point, the day after I pollinated that I didn�t go to the patch for 3 weeks. No feeding, no sprays,, nothing that had to do with the pumpkin patch at all. By week 4 a couple good buddies from here stopped by and helped me weed, adjust the pumpkins and figure out the mess I had in the patch,,, you know who you are and thanks!!:) since then it�s been a couple days a week for a half hour or so just to take care of the bare minimum.
Even just walking has been hard but I�ve been getting stronger each day!
Disease has taken over the patch because I haven�t been able to do anything and my plants are going down fast. I�m grateful though and still have the 2 Pumpkins I started with. I was hoping to get a couple to 1000 pounds.
I taped for the first time and have one right at 1000 pounds and the other just under 1300 pounds! Thank you Jesus and hallelujah I have anything at all!!!!
The names are endless of who�s been checking in on me and you know who you are but for the ones that have been contacting my wife through Facebook and some of those other internet channels I�m getting back on my feet and gearing up for 2020!!!!
I�m hoping these fruit make it to the end so I have something for weigh off time!!!
2020 here we come!!!
Thanks again all! Other then russ Pingrey that thinks I�m just sandbagging you guys rock! Lol
