1818.5 Bryson, 42 DAP on August 1, 709# gaining 23# per day last 4 days. Last year on Aug 1 my personal best was day 30, 342#. I hope this one holds up. The 1965 Brandt showed no growth at all the last 4 days :( I guess I need to try for another one on this and a 60 day pumpkin by October. But in the past plants this big usually blow up new fruit. On the positive side the 962 grew 20# per day with no stump and a big secondary removed. If nothing else goes wrong I hope it makes 1000#. Other good news, our best watermelon is gaining 2# per day, will be a new personal best in 3 weeks at this pace. But we have a new batch of baby rabbits. They have become a plague and the electric fence won't stop them.
