@gourd_father: When it rains, it pours 💧 Unfortunately, more bad news. Checked Medusa out and we’re seeing the exact same symptoms we had on Hera — those bleached white spots that tell you the pumpkin has stopped growing and aborted. Medusa was measuring over 1,750 lbs and still looked 95% solid, but she’s officially our second pumpkin of the season lost. Right now the leading theory is possible 2,4-D drift into the greenhouse from nearby spraying. Soil and tissue tests are already headed out so we can get a definitive answer. Heartbreaking to lose two beautiful pumpkins but this is giant pumpkin growing at altitude. We keep going. What’s the toughest loss you’ve taken in the patch?
