The pumpkins have stopped growing. We are just hoping for cool weather so they last until the weighoff. If Jacob's pumpkin holds up he will easily shatter his personal best. It has perfect orange color and great genetics. It just suffered with all the wet weather, weeds and the poorest soil in the patch. My best this year will be around 300# less than my personal best if it makes it to weighoff. The plants that had good pumpkins go bad were just let go, so we will have a big crop of 100# to 300# for giant jack-o-lanterns
We son't have a long gourd this year. One plant never set a gourd, and the other set just one that started rotting early at over 85". Good luck to everyone at the weighoffs.
