I learned another very valuable lesson this season. BE CAREFUL HOW MUCH BORN I ADD TO THE PATCH!! I was at 2.9 ppm last year end of season. Was hoping to get to 5.0 ppm this year. But obviously added way too much last November. The result - every pumpkin aborts on day 5, leaves all have yellow, curled up edges, burn easily with full sun, very fragile and horrible looking. Many of the male blooms have no stamen. Many of the female flowers are deformed when they open. Total disaster of a growing season.
