[QUOTE="catman529, post: 4272529, member: 9284"] I mowed a bunch down today to make room for the pumpkins. I finally have a couple decent fruit growing on the Atlantic giant. [img]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160822/a115e8f00c984955398e5451d93e3683.jpg[/img] The field pumpkins are growing pretty good, I gave them some 10-10-10 a couple days ago. My honeydew had set a bunch of fruit that were almost ready to ripen, but then all the vines died, and I had unripe melons and some were starting to split and rot. The cantaloupe produced a handful of small fruit, a couple of which I picked. Every watermelon that set ended up with BER or just rotting out completely. I said screw it and ran the mower and the weedeater over all the crap vines, and pulled some of the taller weeds by hand from between the pumpkin vines. [img]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160822/57e70d7daffb223fec131a1d0fb8068b.jpg[/img] The raccoons ate most of my corn. I knocked it down to the ground and am considering a cover crop like clover or wheat. [img]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160822/f7b99faa3fb18c6b2917fe71a63385ee.jpg[/img] The main focus now is to let the Connecticut field and Long Island cheese pumpkins grow out to the best I can get them.
