In this picture the pumpkin does not look as big as the tape says. I think you have to compare the pumpkin to the umbrella (which is still up to keep the stem area dry) to get a more accurate representation of the size. If you look toward the base of the pumpkin I have dryer sheets around the pumpkin to discourage mice from making a home (or a meal) out of my pumpkin. I do see some of my 220 DeBacco “Snowball” traits in this pumpkin, and now I am just hoping the prolonged growth trait also has also carried over. The plant is still in great shape and with any luck my “Anthesis” application made back when it was only 48-hours old will ensure there are plenty of cells that can take advantage of late season expansion.
