The pumpkins have been getting morning water/feedings with hose end sprayer and evening drench of water warmed in black garbage can with light fertilizer,1818.5 Bryson gained 41# in the past 2 days. 962.5 McWilliams gained 30#, but it has a new problem. Leaves are dying off, looks like phytophtora in the Mad Scientist's list of foliar problems. I hope it isn't that because that poor plant has already lost the stump, a big secondary and the end of the main. The 1047.5 McWilliams gained 29# in the past 2 days with no more splitting problems. We finally have 2 decent long gourds going. One is 71" and the other is 79" and still very skinny. They just didn't set until the vines were going down the far side of the trellis. We have them taped to slant boards to try to keep them straight.
