It is days like today that I wish that I only had one vine borer season instead of fighting them through September. I would be so content with my three largest pumpkins if all I had to worry about was disease and leaf bugs from here on out. I will have to go back to the 2016 thread to see where I stand versus this year. But I am thrilled with the general roundness and size of my Atlantic Giants. These are not Dill's Atlantic Giants or any other name brand so if I can get to 150lbs, I will be thrilled. My number one pumpkin added 7 inches in a week. Unfortunately, my number 2 plant died at 27. That was disappointing because that one was a Holland Giant.
Pumpkin #1 added 7 inches in circumference going from 42 to 49. The new Pumpkin #2 measured in at 42 inches in circumference and really grew this week, but I have no idea how much. And Pumpkin #3 is closing fast at 40 inches.
