Measurements on 665 Lovelace X 547 McWilliams: Cir 60 ss 44 ee 45 total = 149" est. 80 pounds. Day 17
Measurements on 689 McWilliams X 841 McWilliams: Cir 69 ss 45 ee 45 total 149" est. 95 pounds. Day 17 Not as far along as I would like, but considering cold wet weather it is OK. Most of the others have pumpkins set on the main. It is too early to tell on the 1275.5 Carlson-Petersen but it does have one going on a back secondary. The 1004 Mohr has one set about 5' out on a secondary off the messed up main vine.
Weather has not geen good: 3" of rain Tuesday. Clouds and mist most of the day on Wednesday, Thursday was sunny and high 70's. Cooler than normal but we will take it. Forecast for Friday is low 80's severe storms and them back to the low 70's for the weekend. Hopefully it will warm up soon so these pumpkins can grow like they should. Jacob is enjoying the heat in New Orleans with the church youth group at the Lutheran Youth gathering. He has done patch chores for me when I have had to be gone so now I pay him back. But he will get put to work next week.
