Updated picture of the 1789 Wallace. It's doing well. It was a bit tricky to get the main to settle down on the ground even though I planted it at a 45 degree angle. I also have some weeding to do.

An updated picture of the 1304 Sperry. Not doing as well as the Wallace plant. However, it's still doing reasonable. Again, I have some weeding to do.

Here's another picture of the pumpkin with a closeup on the split.
