LanTerra Update > Yet again the heavens open up since my last post 5 days ago we have received another dumping of approximately 5 more inches bringing the July total to nearly 10"+. It sure is a far cry from last years 3 week and 5 week droughts. It was so dry last summer I lost all my grass in the front yard and had to reseed this spring. But not this year. Grass cutting has been a twice a week chore all season long.
The pumpkins are still doing fine with two of the three LanTerra fruit tracking ahead of the 1200 pound benchmarks. My own 752* Landry is the patch leader.
752* Landry 07 (848* x 1420) Gusto July 2, x 1055* Day 25 = 225" OTT
998 Pukos Dimple July, X self Day 25 = 219" OTT
1055* Pitura, this plant and fruit has me climbing the walls it now has a sunken blossom end that feels to be spongy like it is not think and the fruit has started to rib out. Like in all of my prior years the June 28th pollination is vastly under-performing. It is well behind the benchmarks and I fear it will eventually split wide open when it does start to pop with some weight gains.
