I live in Elmhurst, Il just 20 miles west of Chicago, current temp is about
85. I fertilize about once a week with Miracle Grow and I have sprayed on
liquid Seven twice in 6 weeks. The last time I sprayed the Seven was right
at the start of the slow growth period. Although the rest of patch has done
very well with good vine growth and lots of male flowers, could the Seven
perhaps stunted only the pumpkin growth? Again, thanks for any and all
help. Steve M.

well, let me know a few things. Where do you live and what is the temp
there. Also, how often are you fertilizing and with what. Do you use any
pesticides or fungicides and how much do you water?
