Both pumpkins will be cut tomorrow (Tuesday) for weigh off on Wednesday. Good news is they are both still growing, bad news is that the deer have eaten most of the plant for the 754. Oh well. Its a good thing they waited until now to eat it. The 1059 is over 450 pounds in measurement now with a giant hole in the back of it that is ever-growing. Good news is, it is still solid with no signs of rot. It has been going for over 2 weeks now with no rot. I find this to be quite the accomplishment.
If it holds together to go on a pallet tomorrow I will take it for a weight to the weigh off. It is a new Personal Best for me so I figure I should get the weight on it; even if I took it right back home with me.
the 754, while small, is the most beautiful pumpkin I have ever grown. It is a deep red/orange now with the mosaic white pattern in it. It is gorgeous. Cant wait to see it on display at the fair.
I took the time this past weekend to clean out all my supplies from the patch, take down the wind fence, etc. Growing season has come to a close now and its time to prepare for winter. Good luck to all at the weigh offs!
