Today is day 76 for my pumpkin. It measured a circumference of 115", side-to-side of 83.25", and end-to-end of 71.25". OTT= 269.5", for an estimated at 435.5 lbs.

If I get it weighed, it will be at Stillwater. I don't expect much more growth, as there are very few green leaves left. No frost here yet, but the plant seems pretty much wore out. The sunburned leaves didn't help any. I think this pumpkin has a shot at 500 lbs. It will likely be close though.

I'm happy I got another chance to grow the 603.5 Muller this year. I like the fact that it tends to produce orange, and heavy to the chart pumpkins. If my pumpkin has good seeds in it, I may grow it next year. It's selfed.
