Measured pumpkins today after 5 days growth. That was 5 hot, dry days around 90 degrees, then 2 cloudy, wet cool days with night temps the last 2 nights of 58 and 51.
West 2032 Glasier pumpkin 44 DAP, 352# gaining 9#/day.
East 2032 Glasier pumpkin 41 DAP, 509# gaining 10#/day.
1692 McMullen 46 DAP gaining 8#/day.
1493 Witter-Benson 44 DAP, 630# gaining 27#/day.
1928 Globus 50 DAP, 661# gaining 19#/day.
359 Foss 49 DAP 816# gaining 21#/day.
The weather forecast for the next few days is for highs in mid 70's today, then upper 70's to low 80's with night time lows from upper 50's to mid 60's. Hopefully we can get some decent gains the next couple weeks before the eventual September slowdown. I am hopeful that we can finally break the 1000# barrier and even do it with 3 pumpkins.
