If my quick calculation is correct, my pumpkins set on the 15th of July will have 81 days to grow until weigh off (Canby) and more time if I wait for HMB or Terminator. I can accept that. Most pumpkins only pack on--what? 5% from days 80 to 95 (and that's in the Northwest where they don't really ever stop growing (mine never have, anyway). It's worth it to go with the 15' set on the 1689 plant rather than the 9' set that's 11 days younger.
