Here is the Eaton plant now, symptoms have slowly spread and there is one plant in my patch of other pumpkins and squashes showing a similar condition. I am convinced it's a nutrient deficiency and over the weekend a professor of organic horticulture from Delaware Valley College was over and she said it might be iron. I gave the plant some greensand that evening (since I had some lying around) and I also ordered an iron sulfate product that I will feed to the plant when it gets here. I'm not going to give up hope for this plant at least until the calendar turns to August!
