top view of harpo as she has decided to start tunring a salmon/orange color. this picture and the low light of sunrise has her looking darker in the pic than to the naked eye, but the coloring is happening and some minor cantaloping as this girl is pushing in one major direction....wider... down low as it fans out on the sides. with another drop in daily gains to 12 lbs per day, i will be very happy if i can get her to 400 ott. good weather and a relatively healthy plant for this later stage will hopefully keep her creeping along for 41 more days until picking. 6 weeks from today is the 2nd Annual Monsters of the Midway Weigh-Off and if she make it in one piece to the scale, i am hoping to have plenty of competition from the other growers from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio and beyond to battle it out for the IGPGA Belt and $5000, $2000, $1000, $800, $700, $600, $500, $400, $300, and $200 for first through 10th place along with $100 for the prettiest and $100 for the ugliest pumpkins. We are hoping for another good turnout and welcome all with Big'ns and those with anything at all of any size that made it through this whacky season to come share the day with us fellow gluttons for punishment and let the chips fall where they may. and tailgaiting will be encouraged!!!!!!!!
