I have two 1088.6 Kennedys they were growing great.I had pumpkins set on at 14 feet growing at 3 inches a day then the vines stopped growing and the pumpkin showed orange spots on it and almost stopped growing in size.It is at 42 inches in diameter at 15 days. The plant is 24 by 24 in size and the new growth is a little on the yellow side.We got 3 inches of rain in the last 4 days and been in the 70's.The other 4 plants still are growing fine.Will it come out of it or am I domed!!

New growth is yellow because of all the rain. Not sure about the orange spots...am I correct in understanding that these are on the pumpkin? If so, check to see if they're soft. In this case things would not look to good. On the other hand, if they're not soft, things may get better when it dries out.
