Here is the early winner as far as growth rate goes - the 1142 Vankooten fruit. Here it is on day 17 yesterday, the day 15 measurement was 55.5 inches circumference. It went from 27.5 to 55.5 inches in 5 days! This one will be very interesting for me to follow because it came from a 3-lobed flower. The general consensus seems to be that you don't want to grow a 3-lobed pumpkin, but others have said there is no proof that they are destined to be smaller. This one should test the theory well - a large plant (575 sq, ft.), fairly early pollination, strong genetics. It has a lot going for it, so hopefully we will see how much of an influence the lobes has on its' final size. Day 18 measurement comes this evening - stay tuned!
