What I found in the patch this morning. The 1579 Carlson-Petersen was getting sick before we left for Door County. It had gotten one Agri Fos treatment before it got sick and another one just before we left. The disease hasn't progresses but it hasn't grown on the sick vines. I blame it on compaction and poor drainage. If I pull the plant I will use a brassica cover crop with Groundhog Radish. This plot will be sweet corn next season to give it a rest from pumpkins and time to resolve the compaction and start draining better.
