After I tucked in the pumpkins for another cold night I checked on the extra pumpkin growing on the 1493 Witter-Benson. I first found it on August 25 when it was around 80#. I didn't put a tape on it, but it looks to be at least 600#. That is a huge amount of growth for the month of September. I left it in because I didn't want to hurt the vines and affect the first pumpkin. It obviously robbed a lot of growth, but the first one is the second largest we have measured in our patch. Not bad for both pumpkins on secondaries after wind broke the main. I learned to keep a better watch for pumpkins to cull, bury vines better. and grow that one next year.
