Well... life got in the way and I’ve fallen behind in this diary and I can’t for the life of me figure out the DAP of a new pumpkin I have growing. My guess is like 7-8 DAP... on a secondary. Too worried a pic will jinx it and make it abort as I’ve lost all the others around a week into growth, but the one on the main (basketball size). It’s definitely not Atlantic giant but some other seed, grows steadily inch a day or two if I’m lucky.

Bad news: I think my plant has mosaic virus :( I’ve pulled off several leaves to try to slow it down but I know if I do have it, I’m doomed. Tomato plant also seems have something too, hence why pretty sure it’s Mosaic. I’ve sprayed a 3 in 1, maybe it will help a bit. It’s not wide spread enough to hurt pumpkins yet and new growth is still steady. I’ll hold off as long as I can... if I can make it till mid sept that would be good enough for me.
