               Hey all, more than half way thru my season here in the desert.  I have noticed my leaves seem to be getting smaller, I can see more space between plants.  Is this a sign of not enough ferts, pumpkin sucking all nutrients from leaves, or overwatering?  I have been low dose fertilizing every day pretty much.

               I really don’t know much without a picture.  Can you post one?  The only thing I see in my patches is the soil seems to get more acidic.  It’s harder if your Cec is low the acidity kinda dwarfs them.
