I had no disease pressure from the soil this year which was an improvement over previous years. If you can rotate fields, or take a year off from growing, I highly recommend soil solarization. Unfortunately to do this right you need to have the growing area covered in clear plastic during the middle of summer. I also rotated a soil drench of Terragrow and RootShield Plus through the drip irrigation.
The oldest leaves of the plant are starting to show their age at this point. I am going to let a few porch pumpkins grow for a couple more weeks after I harvest the pumpkin at the end of next week.
