here is the pumpkin on the big healthy plant. picture taken last night. I checked on it this morning and it is already quite a bit bigger than this photo. I pollinated a kin on the main vine of this plant yesterday and there are 2 more pumpkins on this plant which are growing extremely well. I am going to cull those other 2 this weekend. It's going to be a hard decision on what to keep in the end: the one on the main vine which will be about a week behind this one in the photo, or keep this one and cull the one on the main vine. I guess we will see how the one on the main vine is looking by the end of the weekend. Good news is, this plant grew about another 5 feet in the last few days despite the cold weather and it's now loving the hot and humid weather.
The 2 pumpkins on the smallest plant that were damaged by birds are still alive and growing pretty nicely. The hole left by the birds is actually on the bottom side of the pumpkin so it's not visible. Maybe there will turn out ok.
