forgot the pic of allison and the tomato and pics are not going through right tonight and hopefully i do not see 5 duplicates while i tried. spraying went well i did not see to many affected leaves, maby 6 with slight spotting and one leaf heavier covered that was coated and killed with the quilt fungicide. stared in awe of the 991 main vine tonight while i looked at it leafless from stump to the pumpkin tonight while spraying from behind the plant. monster thick vine going all the way to the stem. nuts thick. never seen anything like it. and the gang of gourds from the last pic is now a gang of specled green and white bowling pin looking swan gourds that are straight up and down and got huge with all the rain. they are damn cool and make me smile the most. the freakiest looking cool things that i have ever grown and will have fun drying some out and giving some with earlier picking to save the nice speckled pattern and luster. i like 'em and am hooked on gourds now for fun. gonna go look at some cool ones to pick out for next year and try new ones every year.
