pumpkin has slowed down in the high heat, and we are on the down turn for growth. Final weight will depend on weather, and it has been bad for 11 days or so now. Hoping for atleast 32 more days of slower growth.

on a good note, I was measuring the pumpkin today and it is darn hard to measure the circumference. I found out that I wasn't measuring the widest part lol, so I gained 2 inches instantly on circumference! Funny:) OTT is 348.75 inches on day 48, 930 lbs estimation. The 980 Fredricks which I am growing taped 353 last year when done, so we should pass it up soon! Praying for cooler weather.
