Here's another view of the leaf damage on the 1400 Lopresti. It's hard to appreciate it unless you see it in person.

In better news, the 1695 Gaboury at the Bangor Community Garden (just a few miles from my house) didn't get hit with any hail. The plant is small because I got sick of burying vines and tearing up the grass to keep up with the growth (it was just too overwhelming with me putting most of my energy into the ones at home), but now I'm kicking myself for not letting the vines get a little longer. I still have a few secondary vines growing on that one, and the pumpkin is up to almost 300 pounds. The kids and adults all love visiting "Peanut," and I think it's such a great community builder. SHe's a very deep yellow. Not sure if that's from taking too long to get shade over her, or if it means she's going to be a nice orange color. Pretty pumpkin candidate maybe?!
