The 1400 Lopresti is still fighting despite lots of hail damage. I have new leaves coming up which are brightening up the patch a bit. I'm cleaning up the worst of leaves a little bit each day, but I'm trying not to get rid of too many. I'm basically just cutting off the ones that are brown and wilted. Some days the pumpkin only gains 10 pounds or so, but other days (like today) she'll do close to 40 pounds. OTT was 321 inches as of this morning, which puts her at 722 pounds according to the 2013 chart that I have. I think I still have a chance of hitting my 1000 pound goal! That would be so awesome!
