I took the 1582 Werner out of the patch last Friday. It was at day 51. It stopped growing at around day 45. The outside was oozing on one side for over a week, possibly an infection of some kind ?? Plant and vine all looked healthy.

I did not want to leave it on any longer and chance on the seeds rotting.
It taped at 807, and weighed 816 on a very accurate scale.

This pumpkin went crazy between day 20 and 35 up until we got the cold snap. Before the cold snap it was doing around 40 # a day.
