Jacob had a successful knee surgery yesterday. The doctor removed the piece of torn miniscus that was giving him problems. After a few weeks he will be as good as new. This means I get to do some of his pumpkin chores for a few weeks. Just payback for the time he helped me after my shoulder surgery.
1068 Papez measured 106-82-77 total of 265" estimated 398 pounds. 37 pounds in 2 days, so it is picking up speed. It is way ahead of my personal best from 2006. I am just worried about a potential problem. My neighbor was just out spraying Canada thistles (way too late since the seeds are already blowing around). I just hope it isn't something that will drift and kill my pumpkins. The winds are light and swirling in the valley.
The long gourd is 36", but only 18" from the ground. I will have to get out a board to place on a slant to grow it on soon. No others going yet. Hopefully something will take off soon towards the top and make a decent gourd.
