My 1705 plant is one of the best that I have ever grown. Pumpkin seems to be doing very good, and the plant is still growing fast and filling in its area.
Weather has been fantastic the past 2 months.

842 Barker squash at day 40. Nothing impressive here. Around 617#, averaging 24# a day the past 10 days. I did a tissue test on this plant because I suspected a deficiency. It was deficient, but not what I expected. Very deficient in iron, and that boggles my mind. Also a little low on sulfur and copper. Did a 30 gallon drench 2 weeks ago to try to help it.

This pic will likely be sideways or upside down, sorry, Forgot to turn phone.
This is a zaczilla Variety I got from the late Marv Meisner. I have tried them many years ago, but don't believe I got any mega blossoms then. They grow a nice stocky plant for sure. I have 3 plants and got 3 with 1st truss mega growing.

I think this is the other one. Seems like they doubled or even tripled the past 24 hrs.

Day 40 for 1705 Zappa, now called , "Donald Trumpkin", still doing well. Estimate is 1064#. Averaging 44.6# a day last 10 days. 2.5 inches of rain past 3 days. Seems like it's getting a lighter color, rather than darkening up.

Had to check Moby since I had the tape measure out. Moby is dropping gains kinda quickly. Plant looks good. Possibly a stump issue. Too wet to see if it's leaking, so I Have a fan near stump to dry the soil.
Est around 1118# at day 46 , down to 31# a day, past 6 days average.

After scraping the frass off, I see what looks like the tail end of a grub.

I only lost one leaf, no big deal. Had I let this go, it would have chewed it's way down to the side vine, and I could have eventually lost the side vine.
