Hopefully I can keep it going. Most secondary growth has slowed to a crawl with the pumpkin averaging 32 pounds a d... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=360810 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=360810 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:07:29 GMT Do you see the patch half empty or half full? Missing the 2266 Kisamore, but I'll let the secondaries of the 1241 fill in what ever space they want. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=360809 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=360809 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:01:32 GMT The 1241 plant is slowing down secondary growth and putting more energy into fruit growth.

Plants held up well but probably washed out a lot of nitrogen from the soil. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359596 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359596 Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:22:40 GMT 2266 Kisamore.
