Rushed home from Rye Beach, NH to get some things to the Champlain Valley Fair - sunflowers for the tallest and widest head, longest carrot, heaviest onion, heaviest tomato and of course a pumpkin. Been struggling all week on which one to pick, as of this morning Earl grew ~160 lbs in the last week (tapes 986 - now the biggest pumpkin in the patch), Eva grew ~148 (tapes 820) and Esteban only grew ~58 lbs (tapes 954). Good news is that they are all still growing, I kind of want to take Esteban but I don't think my tractor will pick him up. Because I don't have the time to borrow another tractor or get our backhoe running I think I'm going to be forced to take Eva even though she is the youngest one and still growing well. I hate to do it but I want to take a respectable pumpkin to the fair and I don't want to cut one that's going to weigh-in at 950 lbs, cause I'd just cry if it weighed 999 lbs!
