Had to cut a couple more tap roots to make sure the vines around my two pumpkins can lift itself--stuck some foam underneath yo keep them up. I also weeded around the plant a good deal. Got rid of a couple of huge leaves that had fallen over long ago. They were still alive and well, but I wanted to prevent any rot, some were lying over vines--Hard to believe some of these tap roots go a foot deep! Some rot starting on the stump off two of the primaries--I don't think it is a biggie though--might get some sulphur powder to dust it, but the stump (basal crown?) is covered from the rain and I never water it directly. Might set up a fan tomorrow. Sure glad I kept the plastic over my plant--this will really help when the rain hits--especially since my vines are all blown open and prone to rot easier.
