Survivor's day 33 estimated weight 364# gaining around 17# per day. The weather has been cool and dry, so I am pouring on the water and starting foliar feedings. Submarine's estimated weight is 194# gaining 9# per day., The biggest field pumpkin is around 60# adding about 3# per day. It is starting to turn orange so growth should slow down real soon. The bright spot in the garden is the long gourds. I now have one on the 129 Young that exceeds 10', a new personal best. The 115 Wright has a fairly young gourd that is growing close to 7" a day. I definitely need to re-design the trellis for next year so I don't have to dig holes when they get too long.
