LanTerra Update > Hiding under the blankets in Patch # 1 is Clumsy. 1055* Pitura x self, June 28. I almost gave up on this plant due to a deep sunken blossom end that I though would never make it to October weigh-off. I focused back on it in mid August and it continues to reward my efforts and should challenge for first place at Port Elgin. Clumsy will need to go real heavy to test the squash world record.
I only did one test this season due to cost reduction plus the knowledge that my soil is just about right were I wanted it to be. The test I did confirmed that this patch was nearly perfect for growing with OM at 8% and PH of 7.0. Ca has never been a concern for my soil and at 4500ppm I was very happy. Clumsy grew happily all summer long in this patch. Never popping big daily gains kept it together.
