The 513 Vincent 10 fruit taken yesterday posing with Sue (Mrs V, aka Pumpkinwidow), this has been her baby all season , 40 DAP, 311", 635 lbs est., dropping back a bit but still gaining about 27 lbs/day last 5 days! I believe this pumpkin could get to 1400. There is some orange showing up now in the base of the ribs. I would like her to be orange but not sure yet how the colour is going to be. Staying youthful for so long is definatly incouraging.
We have had excellent weather here the last couple weeks since the hot spell. About 6.5" of rain in the last 3 weeeks has greatly reduced the need to water. I am staying on my spray schedual. Last night everything for a good application of seaweed, C02, & fulvic acid in pH corrected water.
I have basically given up on my 1468 Stevens and 1185 Kline plants. Both pumpkins are crap for numbers and I'm focusing my efforts on the other four including a really nice squash.
