Day 50 for both of these today, and the cool weather change has taken its toll on the numbers. 2032 Mathison (lumpy) under the cover gained 112 lbs from day 40, so an average of only 11 lbs a day at what should be a critical weight gaining time. The other pumpkin, 1126 Dixon gained 223 lbs over that same 10 day time, so averaged a little better at 22 lbs a day. Weather forecast is for good, continued sunny weather, but cooler temperatures are here to stay. If I can find a truck, and some man-power we will harvest the Mathison pumpkin for the Saanich Fair. We were going to harvest and take the other pumpkin (789 Dixon) but it keeps chugging along at about 10-12 lbs a day and will likely have a better chance than the Mathison of continueing to grow for another month. All 3 pumpkins are currently under 700 lbs each.
