139.35 Ansems long gourd. The trellis has been expanded and we cut back to just 3 plants. We hope better air flow and a different fungicide will help prevent the anthracnose that wiped out the gourds last year. The gourds are on raised beds, 10' X 32' for 3 plants. They get rotated from one side to the other every year. This side was tomatoes, inoculated with WOW Pumpkin Pro last year. They were the biggest plants I have grown since I planted some climbing tomatoes when I was in high school, in the late 60's. I hope some of the micorrhizae carried over to this year with the fall rye cover crop.
