After several days of no change in measurement; the pumpkin on the 754 added another 10 pounds so it is around the 220 mark now. I don't think this one will be a personal best for me but if it's still growing, Im happy. The size of the plant is what is slowing this one up
The 1059 is growing rapidly now. At 12 days old it measured 58 pounds and as of today its just past the 2 week old mark. It looks like a pin-wheel, very tall and narrow but perfectly symmetrical. Looks like this one must be pretty thick in the walls too, it's like a solid rock. Could be a pumpkin for one of the later weigh offs.
The 960 Gansert is also at the same age as the 1059 pumpkin. At 12/13 days old it was measuring at close to 40 pounds. This one has great shape again for me. Really looking forward to watching it grow for the 2nd year in a row. Like the 1059, it is doubling in size daily.
Both the 1059 and 960 are adding much more rapid gains than the 754 was at this stage but they also have more plant behind them.
Weather is still very dry; makes watering very difficult. Luckily the august weather returned and we are back in the 80s everyday in the forecast. Hopefully this means good things for growth through September.
