Day 43 for the pumpkin on the 364.1 Andrews. Circ.=129", S-to-S= 84.5", E-to-E= 78.5"; for a total of 292" and an estimate of 528 lbs. This pumpkin averaged an estimated 21.8 lbs./day for the past 6 days. I'm quite happy to see it still growing over 20 lbs./day at this point. I expect the daily growth to decline now, but hopefully very slowly.
I didn't measure the pumpkin on the 641 Andrews(wheel), but it looks good.
Day 34 for the pumpkin on the 603.5 Muller...circ.= 92".
My plants look good. I haven't seen a cuke beetle all season.
I'm terminating the last remaining(growing) sidevines before the fruit, on the 641 and 364.1 plants, over the next few days.
