Nice day today, sunny and low 70's. 893 Privitera is gaining about 5# per day, just under 400 now. It might still make 500. I remeasured the 1068 Papez and it showed a 38# gain over 4 days, now at 749. Hopefully it can make 900 and then go heavy. Yesterday I found a couple of small pumpkins that pollinated under the leaves and were around 10#. They aren't taking anything away from the big one now. It is starting to get a little pink color and come cantalouping is showing up on the skin.
A little powdery mildew is showing up on the 893. First time I have had much of this on AG's, but decorative gourds seem to be covered with it. I will treat with milk and daconil. Weather forecast for next three days is not too good; highs in low 60's and lows in 40's, maybe more rain. We have plent of moisture now, and we need heat.
