This is the 1695 Gaboury at the Bangor Community Garden. I'm amazed at how well she's doing. She didn't get hit with the hail storm like my other pumpkins, but I don't get over there much and I don't fertilize very often since I don't have a lot of time. I'm wishing I spent more time with her because she is doing pretty well and is developing a beautiful orange color. OTT today was 297, putting her at an estimated 577 pounds.

The 1400 Lopresti is still chugging along. The hail-damaged leaves are looking pretty bad despite using a fungicide and seaweed fertilizer on them. Luckily there's lots of new leaf growth coming in. Maybe the new leaves will give her some vigor later this season.
