Removed the 120 McWilliams LG at 86", 21dap. It just simply stopped growing at 18dap. There are a few really nice ones on that plant that I have pollinated in the past few days, watching close. Pumpkins are basically done. Either they have gotten soft spots or like my 783 have slowed way down at est 400 lbs. It got so hot here for a little over a week and stopped all kins in there tracks. I do have 3 nice melons growing now so I am watering them regularly to try and keep them growing good. Temps are suppose to be in the mid to high 80's this week so better get the blankets out. Tomatoes are still growing but slow. I picked 2 more tomatoes weighing 1.97 and 2.59 off the 4.77 plants. Its too HOT!! I need an Air Conditioned Green House,lol. Tall Corn is loving the heat and well....growing tall. Giant Rutabagas are struggling in the heat also even with shade cloth, cold temp plants.
