I had a local grower and friend Jeff Johnson in the patch today to help with measurements. I would like to believe that it averaged 35 lbs. over the last three days but I have a feeling the jump is due to being able to take an accurate measurement. Moving forward I'll use some tape to hold the measuring tape in place.

991 Urena as of this afternoon at lunch, day 48 - 158.5, 93, 95 for a total of 346.5 inches - for an estimated 873 lbs.

I had not measured in a few days but I did spray C02, kelp and a couple others on Sunday morning. I'm also spoon feeding some 0-0-25 through the irrigation system.

There have been some mice chewing on the pumpkins. We have trapped a few and have put out some poison so hopefully we are taking care of the problem.
