So last night i was at the garden and noticed the 1223.5 noel wilting just lightly. So i was thinking ok well its probably needs some water as the ground was very dry. It was basically at sundown when i watered it and noticed it to perk up pretty fast so i didnt think much of it. I did spray it heavily with insecticide just in case. but i inspected the vine and its clear of anything. So today after work i go to look at them. well again the 1223 was wilting and i mean bad. the point where the leaves are yellowing. And im looking at my other pumpkins and they are perfect looking. Im now thinking that its bacterial wilt sadly. Tomorow it even has a female bloom going to open :( Man am i disappointed it still has a chance though but it looked bad. i drenched it today and will check it tomorrow. and even worse i am leaving on vacation for a week sunday at in the am so i can just hope for the best. I definately will be hitting the plants with fungicide and insecticide heavily tomorow. well i will post an update about it tomorow.
