I cant believe it today is day 106. We filled the injector with 1/4 fish (need to buy more fish) and 1/4 seaweed then used the garden hose until it was all gone this morning. Returned in the afternoon to add systemic Merit at 4.5 lb per 1200 sq ft. Watering enough to wash the Merit off the leaves. I hope this stuff starts to work soon we have quite a few Cucumber Beetles. Applied Bayer Advanced All in One Rose and Flower at 2 tbs per 2 gallons and applied to plant #1 for PM control. We will see if this stuff works or kills the plant. Plant #3, 1362 G. Poirier pollinated 6-16 (51 days old)c=114, 368 lb. Our team name is Calabaza Vaqueros "Pumpkin Cowboys" so it is fitting to name our pumpkins after different breeds of cattle. Pumpkin on plant #3 name is Black Angus. Plant #1 main is 78" 142 lb "Jersey". Lateral plant #1= 63" 82 lb "Holstein". More names to follow.
