my leaves are loosing color in spots.
spots seem to be dry and are becoming holes.
have treated with daconil.
the leaves, however seem pretty strong and are keeping their posture.
i lost a few secondary vines due to some early cold nnw winds.
my plant is looking much smaller now cause i had to trim the damage. my pumkin(the only one) is 144 incehs ott.
i have only about 45 leaves left on plant but it grows an inch a day in circ.
is their anything i can do to get more out my pumpkin?
my second question is about a vine that seems to be close to the where the main vine comes out of the ground. it grows more or less backwards or away for the main. is this vine supposed to be cut. meaning, does this vine help the growth of my only pumpkin or hinder it.
how important is the number of leaves when it comes to growth.
lastly, is it even possible for the condition of my leaves to reverse iteself and if not do i cut them?
any advice would be great
