Pumpkins are steadily growing. Plump Penny maintains a steady 10-11 pounds per day; BiggySmall about 12, and Surprise is gettin' it on with about 15. I pruned a lot of vines that I should have done a couple of weeks ago. It was excruciating. I hope I didn't do damage to the pumpkins growing nearby (upstream) of my pruning. Once again, time will tell. I sure know a lot more about growing giant pumpkins today than I did a few months ago! It's been cool, highs only in the low 80's, for the last few days, and nights getting down into the 50's. Each night I tuck the pumpkins in with their quilts, and each morning I uncover them so they can soak up whatever warmth the sun has to offer them for the day.
