This is a picture of my neighbor Bill's patch, you can see at least four kins just in this shot that are in the 80-120 lb range. I put in two plants back in May and neither he or I have really done much of anything with them, he mulched with grass clippings. The plants were my '07 300 lb and '09 851 lb and they are throwing out pumpkins right and left, I did go over there a couple weeks ago and cull probably 20-30 pumpkins but he still has 10-15 good looking pumpkins on there, not really sure how many, he has a bunch of co-workers that come and get them which is why he has so many. But the plants look real healthy, no sign of PM or cuke beetles. I'm thinking all this spraying I'm doing is causing more harm than good.
