I took measurements today. The 1818.5 now at 1089#, gained 58# in the past 4 days. Its not done growing yet. The 962.5 is now 729#, just 13# gain in the last 4 days. It keeps having a few leaves get all brown on the edges every few days. The rest are the healthiest in the patch so I just cut the bad ones off. The small pumpkin on yhe 1047.5 tertiary is 466#, gained 65# in the past 7 days. The larger one on a secondary is now 729#, gaining 70# in 4 days. At that rate it has a shot at making 1000#.
We have a few decent field pumpkins. Best watermelons are taping 115# and 119#, gaining 2 to 3# a day. Already past personal best, if they make it to October.
Our best long gourd is 96", would be over 100" if it were straight. At least its better than being shut out like last year.
