didn't go into the patch yesterday at all except along the sidewalk to check out the stem side dry splits on the rib lines of Harpo on the 1725. the intial ones are still superficial and not deep at all and there was one new one yesterday and another new one today, all on rib lines. funny thing is after looking at pics of the 1725 harp pumpkin from the stem end i see brown healed ribline splits at the stem end in almost the identical rib lines. weird. also my bud J.T. (jason traylor) sent me some reassurance emails about his 1449.5 stem side rib splits with the same 1385 genetics that held together. thanks J.T. i always talk a big game about taking it all in stride, but trust me, my mind gets spinning like everyone elses especially when you got a good grower going early on. the last 2 days with 4 to 5 inches of rain have weighed on me a bit....pun intended. hopefully she will be fine cuz it is probably going to be my only chance at a new personal best this year. Pappy on the 1209 is growing nicely, but like the 1209 last year it starts slowing on outside numbers as hopefully the inside walls are growing to 20% heavy again. it also has the healed varmint wound on the main that has healed good but still lost some flow. Pappy is doing a little over 25 lbs a day and is sitting 131.5-84.5-83 = 299.0 ott or 566 lbs on day 36. clegg jr. on the 1493 isn't going crazy but is a nice pumpkin so far and is sitting 101-63-66 = 230" ott or 265 lbs on day 26.
