Here's a patch shot taken today.

Last year after a brutal spring I was able to rally quite nicely at least with one pumpkin. This year there is no rally....lol.

As you can see there are 8 plants and 8 pumpkins. Plants have been allowed to only fill about 400 sqft in an attempt to push the pumpkin. It's not working. You can see the empty unfilled patch areas at the end and sides of each plants.

We do have some great crosses with the 2328 here and elsewhere. From lower left clockwise is the 2009, 2009, 1791, 1476, 1623, 1623, 2328, 1783.

I believe out biggest is sitting in the high 300's (pounds not OTT). About 30 days old.
