So last week I mentioned that I foliar fed my kin with what turned out to be really bad. It does not look any worse one week later but it doesnt look any better. There is a pic in my grower diary if anyone wants to see what happens when you grab the wrong jug off the shelf. I still dont know what it was. Early retirement this year.

I see the second photo. Yeah pumpkin patch + old stuff and mixing things in various containers... Bad combo. Been there already this year. Sorry man...

That’s too bad. I have a tendency to pour stuff into other containers and mark the container. When in doubt throw it out.

Look at it this way. You have a long time to grow a cover crop and get ready for next year.

Leaves are still green. I think it is in a coma!! One thing I did notice is that broadleaf weeds are curled up also but grasses are normal. I am guessing lawn spray is the culprit.

If it makes you feel better, in 2012 I knocked all my plants completely out in early June using Roundup after a sprayer mixup (at the fault of my wife of course).

Then, someone from Ohio overnighted a seedling to me to plant mid June and I grew a nice 800 square foot plant in just a month, had a nice pumpkin set, was growing very fast, but then blew up on me day 40.

I ended my own season TWICE in one year. Might be a record.
