MORNING UPDATE ——- Is the 2363 Holland pumpkin showing signs of life? Hello and Good morning everyone. As I posted a few days ago I told you that the 2363 had stopped growing. That’s what it looked like when I measured. Also it was wobbling a scary amount. But that may of just been the shape and how the pumpkin was a foot off the board. I have placed a cup next to the pumpkin but with the pumpkin not touching it. This morning I woke up and the pumpkin was touching it. I will continue to monitor the 2363. The patch is currently in Emergency Mode ?? yesterday I lost 3 secondary vines to phytoptoro. 2 of those I cut in half at the infection I need to try to save energy. I lost two completely on Friday. I am away in NH today so when I get home this afternoon I expect to lose more. And I need to watch the 1791. I am going to apply fungicides tonight. Going heavy on those. Let’s see if that kills the disease. I was 100% it was over a few days ago. The pumpkin is telling me it’s still alive. I will update again later. Have a good day.
