Things are slowing down in the patch and we have 33 days left till the weigh off. As it’s been warmer this year we are a little further forward than the last few years but we’re sure we will need most of those days to get them all to max out. The one exception to that is the 1358 which is growing very slowly now but were happy with that.
So on day 93 the 1385 just put on 9lbs to get to 1175lbs
On day 86 our first 1350 put on 23lbs to end the week at 930lbs
Our 1161 on day 89 put on 37lbs and tapped a total of 1230lbs
Our own 1457 on day 85 put on 38lbs to get to 1240lbs
The 1566 on day 83 put on a great 59lbs and ended the week on 1078lbs
The other 1350 also had a good week and on day 82 up 54lbs at 954lbs
All the pumpkins are between 82 and 93 days old and ours tend to max out at between about 110 to 125 days old.
Here’s our 1385 beast, slowly (but we don’t care) putting on the pounds.
