Well It has been a couple days measuring the pumpkins and when I did the thing I was afraid of happened. The 1456,901 and 1370 pumpkins have stopped growing and have white spots showing. The 901 was gaining 7 inches a day and just stopped.The 1456 Rose is over 300 pounds.901 Hunt would of been 20 days and over 200 pounds. The plants look great but thats what happens here. Just way to much rain this year along with the high temps brings disease.Hard to apply fungicides when its raining all the time. I will try to apply to the fall plants but they are so beat up I am sure they have it also. I still have the melon plants to keep me busy and the kids!
