The weather this week wasn't good for growing pumpkins, cool, way too much rain(6") and not much sun. All of my pumpkins grew much slower this week than the previous week. Tuesday it was 62F at 2 in the afternoon and wednesday it was 67F at 2 in the afternoon. The overnight lows droped 20 degrees from last week.

The 746 hit the 25 day mark today, it is the oldest in my patch. The 629 is at 23 days and the 1385 is at 22 days in the photos from today.

The plants aren't showing any signs of problems right now. I hope it stays that way. I'll be hitting them with some fungicides this weekend along with Talstar. This weeks weather wasn't good for growing pumpkins but it was prime conditions for disease.

I'll try to get pics of the 1334, 1012 and 1363 up soon. They're all between 14 and 20 days old.
