And finally, here's the 522 at home. It's got a few problems on the go. Powdery mildew has struck my patch. Quite a few older leaves inside the hoophouse have it, while none of them outside have it. I've never had it before on any pumpkin. The other problem is the stretch marks on the ribs coming from the stem. Some of them are getting quite long and deep. The pumpkin has been secreting ooze to cover things over. So, in my attempt to keep the pumpkin from wrecking itself, I started to cut off all of the powdery mildew leaves. Today I severed the main past the main to the outside. I don't want very much, if any growth any more. 11 more days until it gets harvested, I just want to get her out of the patch healthy.
