day 55 on the 1424 werner and I don't know the ott lol, didn't measure today. Yesterday it was estimated at 707 lbs on the old 2003 chart, not sure on the newer one. Slowing chugging along at 12 lbs a day still.

Weather is weird as usual. We set a 120 year record for lowest recorded high temperature yesterday in san diego. Amazing summer. Weather is supposed to warm up a little this coming week. I will post pic's soon. The pumpkin is a very nice looking fruit, very high, ribs developing, light orange.

Still all organic and we have had good success keeping off the powdery mildew with an organic product mainly made up of fish oil. And milk is used at times too. Hoping to get atleast another 20 days out of her. She just might eek out a few more lbs and hopefully get into the mid to upper 800's. Weigh a little heavy and it would be a nice fruit.
