the 1059 pumpkin with the giant holes in it is still going! up to 420 last night and its still doing 10 pound gains in measurement even with 38 degree nights! so far no mold, rot, smell or goo inside the cavity. I have been checking daily with a bamboo stake and it seems very dry and solid inside which is so odd considering I could stick my whole arm in it. It does not appear to be very thick inside so it will likely weigh light to measurement if I do take it to the weigh off
The 754 pumpkin continues to grow small amounts. it is the most beautiful pumpkin I have grown, it is nicer than my one from last year. the color is unbelievable.
I will cut them from the vine on Tuesday. Weigh off is Wednesday. I have a severe lack of help for getting these pumpkins in the truck for the weigh off so I am forced to cut a day early and make an attempt to get them loaded Tuesday night. From the weigh off I go straight to a wedding in Mass and then I come home and jump on a plane to Wisconsin to go show my calf at World Dairy Expo! Very hectic week ahead!!!
