Well, it's been quite a hot weather week here in SE Pa. We really need the water. The largest pumpkin I currently have is a 1418 Snyder. However, in the last two days something is very wrong as some of the vine has wilted and I can't discover why. We've got some pumpkins, but when I look at the other growers in our area, theirs are much larger at this point.

We've got a lot on our plate this week as the turkeys go (into the freezer, haha), the bred gilt (that's pig for all who don't speak farmer) is due to have piglets on Thursday, and a bred Black Angus heifer (female cow) is due to calve on Saturday. It will be quite a week, and I better get some sleep now - as it won't happen later on. I hope it rains too.
