Have had a bad few days, low temps, high humidity and rotting pumpkins. Lost the Jutras, had stopped growing for a while now, rotten at the blossom end. The Connolly had some rot starting around the old blossom, scraped out what I could and painted with Benomyl paste. Has been warmer and drier since but not sure if I have saved it yet, the shape of the fruit says thin walls at the blossom end to me. I'm not sure if it is nutrition or other factors, this game can bring you down a peg or two real quick. Another few days and I will know, (where there is life there is hope so they say). Wonder if it is too late to set another one.......
