Not much to report here. The 1207 Young pumpkin is slow to grow for some reason,9 only 193 ott day 25 but cool nights and wet soil do not help. The ugly 255 Mitchell watermelon for fair split so will be hard to get anything set for fair now. other fair pumpkins are growing but slow only 3-4 inches a day. I have been working night shift this week 5 pm - 5:30 am. I finally got the hay mowed so Thursday will be fun (not).The fall plants are growing fine so far but not the greatest color again.Most plants are 8 feet long now and a couple are 14 feet. Set 2 pumpkins on the 893 Privitera plant this week. I will be off Thursday - Sunday so hopefully get somethings caught up on.
