Back from hols via the allotment to check up on things. The pumpkin is taping 356lb at DAP 33 which is 1% more than the same stage last year which is fine with me. Despite terminating 99% of vines the plant is pushing and looking to burst out of the tunnel. I don't know how much weight will be lost having just 450 sq ft instead of 600 or more and it's bound to make a difference though there's nothing I can do about it. Other than that it's looks to be in great shape as we approach August. This is the time of year disease and pest problems start to take hold so this week I will think about what preemptive measures we need to take.
