that picture of "chunk" turned out a little dark. that is a tennis ball i am holding next to it. gonna be another scorcher out there tomorrow and then the heat will give way. the plants looked good without misting on this 94 degree day. hoping to get some rain tomorrow night but i have been watering every other day consistently. i applied some 10-10-10 fertilizer in a jet spray covering the entire soil area and vines and leaf stalks underneath all of the plants yesterday. nothing heavy, just want to keep the leaves, roots, and pumpkin getting enough of the nutrients they need in the later stages. i am not risking burning the leaves in this heat by foliar feeding tonight. its still 90 at 830 pm. tomorrow night i will hit with neptunes and calcium as a foliar on both the pumpkins and tomatoes. this has been one damn hot and dry summer.
