Late start for a diary. Growing 7 plants this year, 2 of which are small, only about 300 Sq ft. I ended up with keeping 2 -1321 Sandercock plants for those small plots.
Growing 4 main competition plants. (around 850 Sq ft):
My 2315 dmg from last year
2144 Barron
1965.5 Rodebaugh
839 Sandercock
Also doing a 1838 Jutras squash. ( 600 Sq ft. )

Plants are all around 8 feet - 16 feet long. The 2144 is the biggest plant, should be pollinating in 10- 15 days.

The 839 Sandercock pumpkin at day 10. About bowling ball sized. Very nice plant behind the fruit, except for a woodchuck eating the main 3 foot past this pumpkin. We will make it work to fill in the plot.

2144 Barron pumpkin at day 13. Not happy with this shape, so it may get cut off in a while. Also a very nice plant behind it.

839 Sandercock plant on the right. Left plant is the 1965.5 Rodebaugh. Patch treated the same when amended. The Rodebaugh looks to be a little pale. I gave it some N a few days ago. It has a day 8 fruit on it with a beautiful shape. It is also going to be a nice sized day 10 in 2 days. This plant has a lot of double roots out the bottom if nodes.

Finally got one set on my main vine, on my 2315 dmg from last year. Day 14 today I believe. Big beautiful plant behind it but stump won't last too much longer.
