These small plants really go down quickly. Regardless of the final weight, I consider this year a success, and better than last year. I did a much better job preventing powdery mildew and kept this plant fresher for longer. Flea beetle pressure was intense. I didn’t see one flea beetle on the pumpkin plant. I didn’t see one cucumber beetle on the plant either. No evidence of SVB damage.

Successful pollination was eight days later than last year. At 13lbs a day peak growth that cost me ballpark 104 lbs.
