"baby" on the 1303 sweet on day 82. she averaged 5 pounds a day for last six days and anything from here on is bonus. the nose keeps nosing out a bit, the top bulges are still bulging slightly, and the left bottom lobe keeps pushing wider. i got her in preservation mode. no soft spots on main, some powdery mildew to be expected with recent high humidity but not bad. new growth of 50 leaves lying in and above weeds on backside after the pumpkin, and 50.or so before. this sould help maintain health of pumpkin even when growth stops completely....which will be very soon. i will be happy when cool days and nights come soon. perfect timing for heat wave for final push going into last growth days followed by cool nights around the horizon. 25 days before picking and she is 84 days old today.
