I havent posted much in the past 2 weeks as there wasnt much going on well there was but nothing good in the patch. Constantly removing vines. My patch is now at about 15 % of how full it was before the phytopythora hit. The 1068 hasnt gained much as it has little root left supplying it. However the fruit appears solid. Ordered some aliette in order to treat the remaining plants as they are setting new pumpkins with what they have left. Interesting to see that the remaining part of the patch is on the one side however all the plants that were on the far opposite side are all gone pretty much. The plants on the one side of what they have left are actually healthy very green and setting new pumpkins. Thats why i considered setting new ones now and just for the heck of it see how big i can get them till the end of the season. It stays hot here usually all through september so im going to just hang in there and set some more. I have nothing to lose at this point. I already lost mostly everything anyway as far as pumpkins that is.
