The 866 this morning. Estimated weight is 690# and it has averaged around 20# per day constant throughout August. It has to average just over 7# per day for the rest of the season to make a personal best and just over 9# per day to be out first 1000# pumpkin. We keep watering every day in the heat and drought. Cool water from the well in the morning and water warmed in a garbage can and buckets in the sun in the evening. We noticed a growth drop-off if we use cool water in the evening, so no more of that.
