Today I noticed that some of the cuts still had some rot. I can't cover them and put a fan on them since there are so many, and it's far away from the house. I'm going to take a look at the messages and up my disinfecting. I believe Bordeaux is recommended and I have some on hand. Research first... It's going to be a hot one today, but no watering. Let everything dry out a bit.

Applied another round of Imadacloprid last night and did water it in. I now think my previous application might have been the right amount, for the pumpkin plant at that size. It got bigger of course. ;)

Bad news today - 'kin hasn't grown overnight. Still 8.5" cc. and based on the last one, this doesn't bode well for it.

Good news today - new shoots looking better and this one has a female flower on it! It's a tertiary (to fill in gaps) but I'll take what I can get at this point.
