The 866 McWilliams this morning is starting to fill out and color up. It measures 920# on the Team Pumpkin chart and 940# on the GPC chart, so I may have a new personal best. Going by the lighter weight it needs to average 5.3# per day to make my 1000# goal, and it put on 28# in the last 3 days. We had rain yesterday and more is coming this afternoon with 87 degree temp. Over the weekend I will have to start covering with a blanket as lows are supposed to get into the 40's. It has been getting a light foliar feeding every few days with high K tomato fertilizer and molasses, but me sprayer doesn't like the sticky molasses even with warm water.
