There hasn't been much to report lately. Pumpkin is growing nicely and is about 27 pounds heavier than last year (based on days since pollination). Daily growth isn't anything spectacular, but hopefully it will pick up. The nights are cool so the blankets are already keeping the pumpkin cozy. The main vine and secondaries have been terminated. The stem cracks seem to be okay and aren't going into the pumpkin, although it's hard to tell with all the fungacide paste I've put on them!
