Well it's full blow pumpkin season. I need more backyard. I like to reference my small track home yard just to encourage every one to at least get 1 plant growing. I have 3 Plants. It's still not too late. I started 1 plant last year about 6-1-97 and got a nice size Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween. Current Challenge: My new leaves have crispy edges. I guess you can call them dead edges They are dark green and crisp.Possible factors;10 days ago I loaded a lot of K-Mart steer manure over and around the vines. The result seemed to be increased growth and of course GREEN GREEN GREEN. I've used mild insecticide but applied a lot it. Simply put "Help". The plants otherwise are doing great. Now I am worried. Is there a diagosis out there? I would appreciate all input.
