At my brother's place:

492.5 Gerhardt east pumpkin 56" circ.
492.5 Gerhardt west pumpkin 39.5" circ.
The west plant is down to one pumpkin. The east plant has three pumpkins on the main. The middle one is the chosen keeper. I cut halfway through the largest pumpkin's stem to start the culling process. There's another pumpkin further down the main, for insurance(about 20" circ. I'm guessing).
Both keeper pumpkins grew over 4" circ./day the past 3 days. I'm happy with this, considering they have(or had) other pumpkins on the plants during that period.
These pumpkins are all open-pollinated. I don't know the pollination dates on them.
