10 DAP measurements for 1290 Poirier and 400 Frei are 20" CC and 18" CC, respectively. The 1290 which I had hoped would be a perfectly round unblemished and orange pumpkin now has a dent in it as a result of a growth spurt and growing into the cage protecting it. Fortunately the white sheet keeping it warm prevented the skin from breaking but you can see where the skin has been stretched as it grew. Keen to see how that dent expands in a full sized fruit.
