The weather in Iowa has turned wet again. We had 2" yesterday morning. Forecast is for 2-3" tonight and another 1-2" tomorrow. Moisture is being pushed up from the Gulf ahead of Ike. Hopefully it won't pop the pumpkins. They have really slowed down with the cool air and clouds, going just 3-5 pounds per day. The soil has been moist to soggy all year so the plants should be ready for the rain. I'm mainly worried about the 1068 Papez as it keeps getting slight surface cracks that ooze. It is really growing at the stem end, in areas that don't show up too much on the measurements. Hopefully it will hold together and go heavy. I just hope it doesn't get so wet that we can't get them out of the garden.
