patch up date. Buddha on the 1092 started slowing after third prolonged cool nights and the fourth spell for 4 days in low 50s shut her down almost completely at day 60 at 940 estimate and done growing in measurable areas but still finishing with some bulges. the 679 pumpkin was about 750 a week ago and creeping along. the 1546 is 1000 estimate on day 62 today and averaged 14 the past 7 days with some fresh shoulder stem splitting from recent high night time temps and a silly amount of rain....big storm to hit here in the next half hour. all in all....i cant complain. here is a 5.03 Boudyo tomato that weighed 3.21 pounds. glad i got seeds from my 3.83 this year (6.57 Boudyo) and this 3.21 for good genetic lines for next year. i have a couple more over 20" but expect them to blush any day now and may see 3 pounds but i doubt will reach 4 pounds. i think i am gonna do 2 pumpkin plants with more room instead of 3 next year and also more tomato plants like 15 of them.
