Day 69 for my pumpkin on the 1027 Lombardi plant.
Circ.= 148", S-to-S= 91.5", E-to-E= 92.75"; for a total OTT of 332.25". It's estimated at about 771.5 lbs. on the 2005 chart. This pumpkin averaged an estimated 4.7 lbs. over the past 11 days.
I'll be cutting this pumpkin off the vine in about two weeks. I don't expect much more growth on it. It's growth slowed down more than I expected, compared to other pumpkins I've grown in the past. I don't attribute this to the genetics of the seed, but possibly on a few other factors(one being the hot dry late summer we've had). I water with an overhead sprinkler, but soaking rains would have been much preferred.
