The 1191 Barker is growing adding about 18 pounds a day. The 1303 Popp is a different story as a stem split has occurred at the stem and extends into the pumpkin. I suspect the expansion of the pumpkin (which is a wheel) was too great for the short stem. The pumpkin is still growing slowly but I expect it to shut down soon. It's not a total loss, the 850 sf of plant offers great weed control.
