Anyone,
I am growing 2 plants out of one hill. My 815 is doing great, and I
have a volleyball sized pumpkin, albeit green still. That is not my
problem, as I knowq it will turn color eventually. My dilema is that the
897 is aborting fruit after it gets to the size of a softball.. Weather
has been cool, and the care has been there all the time.. I have 2
pumpkins left on this plant, one small set one, andanother 23 ft out,
that is looking to be set in the next two days.. Do I wait it out, and
hope fora miracle, or do I cut the plant, and give the 815 more soil
nutrient availability? If I cut it, I will have half a garden that has
no leaves, as I have been pruning for two plants, or do leave it in, and
just tryn to get themost out of the thing? I never got any male flowers
on this plant, so I think it may have been diseased fromthe get go..
This is such a guessing game, when youstart haviong problems.. You think
you are doing everything right, and BAM!! I think I need a visit fromt
he pumpkin shrink again, or atleast a nice poem to calm my nerves..
