It has been cool and dry the last few days, and pumpkin growth has slowed. Much needed rain is supposed to be coming in today and temps next week are supposed to be higher. Meaurements taken this morning. 866.5 McWilliams, day 39, 329# gaining 9 per day. 1536 Marsh day 37, 430# gaining 17# per day. 1674 Marsh day 34, 472# gaining 14# per day. 1209 Courson day 40, 533# gaining 13# per day. 1351 Trumm Day 45. 560# gaining 15# per day. If the rain and heat can get them back to the 20+# per day gains they were doing for the rest of August and then squeak out 10# a day for September, we still have 4 that have potential to break that 1000# barrier for the first time. Hopefully they all go 23% heavy like our pumpkins did last year.
