This is the 885 Shenoha 2004 est. #1 plant pumpkin,
aka Noah, that is 29 days old today and sitting at
413 lbs estimate. i am glad i used my own seeds for backup plants cuz it sure has been fun watching Tre' and Noah grow on one of my own crosses. things all work out for a reason. initially i intended to have a 735 pukos and an 842 eaton growing in these spots. go figure. i am just hoping for the best and will not push these babies too hard. we actually got 2" of rain here 2 days ago in Joliet total and i am hoping the pumpkins take it in stride. gonna spray tonight cuz i saw a few japanese beetles today in the patch and it has been just about 2 weeks since the last spray. gonna switch over to talstar one tonight to mix it up a bit and give them some daconil with the hot and humid conditions. glad the banner maxx is in the system now. the leaves that got burnt from spraying clacium/neptunes when the leaves were still too hot at 7 pm this past week are fewer in number affected than i thought. the ones that got affected are toast, but only about 10 leaves took it the worst. besides that some of them are just a little spotty now and look to be fine.
