It has been closer to 80 the past 2 days, but spotty showers keep missing us. Subsoil is moist but top is just a little dry. 1068 Papez now estimated 361#, 16# per day gain. Better than the previous 12# per day. Privitera plants: 1096.5 is 128# (8# per day) 893 is 153# (8# per day) 947.5 is 111# (8# per day). Forecast is a couple of nice days around 89, then a few days in 70's with chance of rain. I sure would like 85 days and 65 nights, but will take what we can get. Long gourd in now 29", just 7" growth in 2 days. I am doing light foilar feedings every other day with compost tea on the 2 best pumpkins and the long gourds every other day.
