1068 Papez is now estimated 448#, gaining 17 per day. Just a slight increase in growth rate. It has just one shallow 1" long split along side the stem, but it shouldn't be a problem. I went to fertilize all the pumpkins, but decided to hold off on the 1068; I don't want to blow it up. It looks to be a big, ugly white wheel. Not on any kind of a record growth pace, but it is ahead of my personal best.
Long gourd still growing very slowly. I hand polinated one very early this AM, so I will see if that takes.
I heard from a couple of local growers. One is having very poor success, another has vine borer problems. Combined with all the rain it has been a tough year.
