Plants outside have pretty much had it. Too much damage, except for the 1225 Pukos which is waterlogged and shows very little growth.

In the greenhouse I have a squash at day 15 which is following the 1000 lb benchmarks very closely. It is now about 17 kg. The pumpkin in the greenhouse is at day 10 and doing quite well.

Only plants outside and patch is very wet.
Plants are doing ok. few polinations done

Arie has been growing for many years. For some reason he just doesn't get them too big, but has had some nice pumpkins.

great, Brad, keep them in one piece!

Last chance for me, lol.
