Day 40 for the 998 Pukos today 318.5", 681 lbs, ADG over 30 lbs over the last 10 days...wooohoo! The fruit is ahead of last years 998 at the dame age and ADG's are higher so hopefully a new patch best here.

1156 Hunt a close second for size or age and ADG (average daily gain)

All the rest of the fruit are gaining 26+ per day and all but one should reach 1000 lbs (touch wood).

The 995*, planted up on stony lonesome, is trailing. measurements are similar to our 788 last year, but this seed always goes heavy so looking for 800+ on this one.

LG's pollinated early last week are starting to take off. We should have a few for the weigh off season.

14 day forecast is calling for lows in the 40's late next week so all this sustained growth could come to a screeching halt as we get back into more seasonal weather. Looking at installing floating row covers over several plants.
