Today my town got hit with a very severe hail storm. It only lasted a few minutes, but it destroyed my whole neighborhood with trees down everywhere. It also destroyed the two pumpkin plants in my backyard. I was absolutely devastated. I don't know if the pumpkin is "dead" yet, but I don't have high hopes. I do have a third pumpkin a few miles from home, and that one didn't get affected at all. That one (the 1695 Gaboury) is about 220 pounds and was my neglected back-up pumpkin. My big baby, the 1400 Lopresti, was 456 pounds today. We'll see what this plant is made of. I'm not giving up on her yet!
