Just measured the pumpkins again Tues night. Had a couple nights with lows of 3 C and a bit of frost.
1395.5 Leonard 518 lbs and 6 day average 4.3/day.
525 Nieuwenhoff 318 lbs Officially stopped, had a kinked vine at the stem end.
1156 Hunt 566 lbs and 6 day average 4.5/day
1181 R Wentzell 544 lbs and 6 day average .8/day, a bit worried about this one as it appears to have stopped all of a sudden. It has some radial cracks around the stem end but I didn't think any went that deep. Will patch it up with sulfur and see what happens.
1055 Joynson I didn't measure it as it is a very odd shape and I can get different measurements each time I do it. I removed the caulking from the stem splits and it appears that it has healed itself up, although the stem is split all to heck I can't probe into the pumpkin itself. I try to get a picture of it.
