Something strange is up--maybe it is the heat. I measured my pumpkins today and the large one gained a measly 11 lbs since yesterday! A real disappointment considering it was gaining 20+ lbs for a couple of days. Right now it is at 220 lbs on day 30 with a circ of 87 inches--not the greatest, but not bad either.
I also measured the other one. It has gained about 27 lbs in two days, so it is gaining at about 13 lbs per day.
I foliar fertilized yesterday, will do again tomorrow. Hopefully my plant gets its "grow on" at night. I think it is too hot during the day. Afterall, it was 34 celcius in my back yard today.
Also, trimmed a couple of tertiaries that sprung up without me seeing--one was already 9 feet long with a female. I should be more diligent when looking for these things, but I have been busy remodeling my sisters bathroom all week. Thank goodness I got these automatic timers for watering so I don't have to do it by hand a everyday.
