I forgot to take pictures so no photo on this one.
I don't have shade cloth up. With all the stuff I've already bought and the time spent it just hasn't happened. This year one of pumpkin growing has gotten pretty in depth lol
I decided to use my sprinklers to keep the plants cool. I know the risk I run with fungal diseases but I've got to chance it and will potentially move to every 7 day spray instead of 10.
I was having some issues with my irrigation so I ran to town for parts. By the time I got back the plants were flagging quite a bit. I got the irrigation running correctly and have the sprinklers run for 30 seconds every 10 minutes, the plants looked great once I got that running.
I'll have to keep an eye on them and see what interval of on and off is the best.
