I really am having a weird season so far. First off there are no more svbs but thats only because I think there in my plants lol. The plants main vines have all been terminated as I have most of my plants now out 30 feet and feel I must terminate in order to have the plant focus on the pumpkins size. The Frantz with the weird shape failed to grow and once again turned to mush I have another one set on a side vine that is smooth and about football size and one set on the main that is softball size. I will keep an eye on it. The Mitchells set failed so there is a new set growing now and its at baseball size. The Lishness has a pumpkin set and thats at almost basketball size catching up to the Marchand in size. The Marchand pumpkin appears to have stopped growing its the biggest pumpkin I have but I have not seen any growth. Last yr with no compost or chemicals my plants where crappy but in the long run I got 200pdrs off them. This yr we spend hard earned money and backbreaking time to put in maple leaves and buy compost only to have the pumpkins get to basketball size and stop growing I am pissed off and about ready to give up on growing giants. I will keep an eye out till the end of the season then next yr try doing better some seasons you do good some you do not. I want to try growing giant melons next yr as me and Beckys melons are doing awesome. Hope everyones season is better then mine but again I cant say its over till its over will just wait and see. Grow em big everyone.
