Here's the Gerhardt at 70 DAP (yesterday)...gettin' kind of old. Tertiary growth is still growing great, however, powdery mildew is pretty out of control, aphids are going crazy and leaves falling from the trees are burying the plant...ah well. Anyway, it's at 131CC, 281 OTT and around 491lbs, I believe. It put on a great burst of growth between days 60 and 65, but has slowed down to about 2lbs a day since...bah! It turns out, the Federal Way record is 540lbs grown by Jeff Billinghousen, which is also the only pumpkin ever weighed from Federal Way, haha.
