This is Esteban (formerly known as #1 on Pitura) at 38 days old, this is my oldest pumpkin in the patch and is a steady 1 pound per hour grower - it has averaged 24 pounds a day for the last three weeks. That's not gang busters growth but I'll take it any day, they say slow and steady wins the race, I hope it can maintain that pace through out August. I weeded this entire plant today, mainly in order to get a better look at the entire main and stump as well as help with ventilation and watering. Much to my relief everything looked solid. Measures 82x83x125=290 OTT ~ 518 lbs. This is by far the largest pumpkin I've ever had on August 1, not counting my chickens yet but I like my chances for 1K.
