3 September 2008. This is the 1096.5 Privitera X 1068 Papez. Late polination growing about 20' out on the main. It is really growing fast, and it is sitting on the blossom end. Impossible to get the circumfrence without diggin under the pumpkin. I had to do some root pruning and blocking with styrofoam to prevent stem stress.
The 1068 has slowed down to 12#/day. It was hot yesterday until the cold front hit about 7:00 PM. We got about a half inch of rain overnight, and today was cloudy and high around 69. Forecast for next few dyas is highs around 70, lows around 50. Sounds like we could get heavy rain tomorrow, mositure from the gulf being pushed up by Gustav remnants to hit the Canadian cold air.
