24 hours of rain and about 60 degrees. Last female on Vera pollinated today using two males from Helen and one from Vera. Flowers kept dry under leaves. Visited Josh Venter's patch this AM and he has 4 pumpkins set, largest about 15" diameter. Then down to Monster Grower's patch to see his two BIG pumpkins. Wow, I just can't fathom how much weight and size they put on in the past two weeks, looks like a five fold increase. Next year I need to move my patch to more sun and get the fruit set earlier. I'm watching with concern as Helen's twins display splits in the stems.
