My 1180.5 Pukos is done for. Went this morning and this is what I found. What a heartbreak. We had a week of over the top temps, 90-100 and then about a 1/2 inch rain yesterday and guess it was just too much. Final measurement was: 106-69-67= 242 OTT. Was gonna be a bird bath. Day 22. I dont know why it grew so dang fast, I hardly gave it anything but kept it soil moist and some kelp. The plant really grew. Main out to about 20 feet, pumpkin set at 16 feet out, sides filled in at 15 feet one each side, nice green color, no disease or insect pressure. I was ready, but guess not this year.
