August is a wrap. All 3 pumpkins survived our trip to the Black Hills, despite three severe thunderstorms while we were gone and another 2+ inches of rain. The inevitable battle with PM is turning against me, will need to get more aggressive with fungicide in the next few weeks. The shown 2332 has slowed down quite a bit since I had to remove a major early secondary that had gone bad near the stump, but the gnarly growth splits tells me she's still growing. With a little luck I'll have my first 400"+ fruit before weigh off.
