Day 55: Estimating just under the 600lb mark. The day after my day 50 post she took a dive in her growth. We have had excellent weather but it wasn't helping. It's so slow it's hard to get a daily measurement so I'm pushing it off until day 60. This photo is the dad in me winning over the grower side of me. I decided to let this open live and will become his "normal" carver that every kid should have. Don't tell him but its nickname is "decoy" You can also see what happens when you lose the middle of your plant, weeds just took right off and I'm not about to go trample the ground to get them, they are code named "early pre post season cover crop". Last few weeks have been fun, found photo's of the kin on Facebook, coworkers send me photos of themselves next to my patch after I forbid them to look for it, its all in good fun. The neighbor says when I'm at work people stop and "take photos of the stupid thing likes it's the G#D D#@N Washington monument". proud to say its the biggest this town has ever had, but I just smile and tell them she's still a baby compared to whats out there.
