Fortunately, it's not like I have anything huge on the vine, though I think my hope for 200lbs was just dashed against the wall. Since the wind event, this guy's been putting on less than 2lbs a day, haha. Last night, some areas even had an unforecasted frost, too, so things are looking grim. Anyway, it's at 171lbs (81.5" CC 56.5" EE 57" SS, 195" OTT) as of my measurement two days ago. This plant is probably 100 sqft or less pre-wind damage, but now only has leaves in a ~50sqft area. The stump is less than 2" in diameter where it enters the dirt. Wish I'd gotten some fabric under it...just sand now :/ never thought I'd care about a pumpkin pollinated near the end of August.
