My late pollination 1047.5 gained a whopping 8 pounds over the past 4 days. At this rate it will be lucky to make 200# by October. The 1047.5 bell showed no growth by the tape, but the skinny "neck" by the stem is visibly filling out. The watermelons are struggling with weeds, the long gourds are suffering from the brown rust, the field pumpkins are losing the battle with powdery mildew, and cucumber beetles are showing up. Great fun.
