We have seen a couple of cool nights, lows near 50. The pumpkins are slowing down as well. 1068 Papez is down to 12# per day. It is oozing all over the shoulders, so maybe there is growth that isn't showing up on the tape. Some stem stress was showing up, so I had to cut another main vine root and adjust the styrofoam block holding it up. No stress now.
The 893 Privitera is down to just 6 pounds per day, but I think there is still some growth left in it. I saw a few cucumber beetles, so the insecticide and garlic will be used this evening.
The first long gourd stopped growing at a measly 56". Another one was already 45" and still very skinny yesterday. It should get much longer than the first.
Jacob's knee is healing up nicely, and he should be able to get back to his patch chores in a week or so.
