Measurements this morning after 5 cool days and cold nights.
2036 Glasier west pumpkin 49 DAP, 372# gaining 4#/day.
2036 Glasier east pumpkin 46 DAP, 624# gaining 23#/day
Maybe we should have just grown one on this plant, but the ribbon vine made us think it didn't have this much potential.
1692 McMullen 51 DAP, 519# gaining 7#/day
1494 Witter-Benson 49 DAP, 713# gaining 17#/day.
1928 Globus 55 DAP, 726# gaining 13#/day.
359 Foss 54 DAP, 903# gaining 17#/day.

We are in for one more night in the upper 40's, then we get a warm-up to 60's for night temps. Needed rain is supposed to come by Friday. Hopefully gains will pick back up. The 359 is just 2% from my personal best 919.5. We have 38 growing days until we harvest for the weigh-off, and we are hoping to have at least 2 break the 1000# barrier.
1493 Witter-Benson 49 DAP,
