Day 59 for my pumpkin. It measured a circumference of 111", side-to-side of 80.5", and end-to-end of 68.5". OTT= 260", for and estimated 392 lbs. The pumpkin averaged an estimated 4.2 lbs./day for the past 10 days. The theme for this year's pumpkin seems to be slow and steady, with an emphasis on slow. Overall I think the weather has been pretty decent here. The flat mainvine(early on), a relatively small plant, and leafburn on later growth, may have all contributed to the slow growth pattern.
I'm happy with the color of the pumpkin, and the shape isn't bad.
