I got curious, so a worked around the chicken wire cages to get measurements. The 1928 Globus has stopped at 910#, and we hope it holds up 6 more days.
The 359 Foss taped 376", 1154#. It is gaining 4# per day with 5 days to grow. If it goes a little heavy it might make 1200, but I'm figuring it will be a little light.
The 1493 Witter-Benson taped 358", 1010#. day 82, gaining 9#/day with 12 growing days before it gets weighed. I'm thinking this one will go heavy.
The 2036 Glasier taped 774#, gaining 3# per day. It gets to grow another 12 days too.
Both the Glasier and Witter-Benson pumpkins are turning a light green on about a third of the pumpkin.
Our watermelons are taping 47#, 69#, 95#, and 101#. The two biggest are the best we have ever grown. We have several field pumpkins taping over 60#, at least 3 more over 80# and one at 101#. Beats our best of 67# last year.
