Project 2b - It's good to be wrong sometimes as I was sure for a long time that this one was also aborting. It was also doing around 5 lbs a day until I went on holiday for 7 days during which it was not watered. I returned to find 100 lbs of growth with daily averages at 11 lbs.

Nothing to get too excited about but relative to everything else in the patch it's something to be pleased about as ultimately it means an opportunity to attend a weigh off with a pumpkin (even if it's a very small one).

The plants are in superb condition so it's a real shame that CANNA invested in me during a bad weather year. Really can't fault the nutrients at all! With the best nutrients available the limiting factor is always going to be the grow conditions and on this occassion they are beyond my control.

However, I have learned a huge amount this year so combine that with a good year of weather and joining the 1000 lb plus club and deli is easily doable in 2016.
