Have been really sick the last couple of days with a fever. Must have been all those home renovations I was pushing myself to finish. Anyway, I got a chance to measure the main fruit and it registered a 9 lb gain for 690 lbs estimate. Looks like I will at least break 700. The ribs are not very defined yet, and the color is still a pale white, so I am hoping there is some gains left in her. I think the secondary fruit is close to 500 lbs.
Stump rot is under control--looks like that powder smearing worked very well, but the back primary--which is almost half the plant is pretty much done as it has rotted almost through at one point. Not much left in the leaves either--what with aphids and all. Zuchinni and squash plants already succumbed to mildew, I will spray tonight with copper to try and ward off mildew on my pumpkin plant.
Here's hoping for another 100 lbs in Sept and October!
