Almost all my vines are dead headed and buried. Wow! That was tuff in the extreme heat. I have about four secondary vines on each side of the two 1908's that are growing to fill in. Today is overcast, so it's a good day for some new growth to open without getting burned up. Sun burn has been a big problem this year. May be next year some shade cloth. I'll be measuring once a week for a while unless there's a problem. I do still need to bury a lot of vines on my 150 sf. That area will be filled within a few days. Pumpkin on the 150 sf is nicely shaped and growing steadily. I'll measure it for the first time this coming Sunday 16 DAP. Which is the same DAP for both of my big plant pumpkins. It will be interesting to see how growth compares with a pumpkin on a full sized plant.
