Tons of cantalouping, especially on the area that was exposed to the sun for several days while I was on vacation. Yikes. The most shaded parts of the pumpkin are still completely smooth. Even at almost 400lbs, it just amazes me that it's more than 10ft in circumference. When I bought the 120" tape measure, I didn't think I'd actually run out. The split is packed with sulfur now and it doesn't seem to smell in there, so that's a fair sign, I guess, ha. There's a huge bigleaf maple growing just ten feet North of the stump, so as soon as we got a few cold mornings, that thing has been dropping thousands of seeds and leaves onto the plant. Been having to hand pick 'em off each leaf.
