Year 1 goal 500
Year 1 weight 557
This is from early October. Beat my coworker who was also growing for the first time.
The 557 was off my 1904 which took crazy wind damage twice.
The nice orange 467 was off the Hamilton I got from Andy H. This was a beautiful shape and color.
My part of WI was brutally dry through June, July, and August. I don’t have water at the patch. I hauled some 100 gallon sprayer loads once in a while to basically keep them alive, but not nearly what they needed. Top 2 inches were pure dust for most of the summer. Was rain all around us at times but just never got to us.
There are a LOT of things I will change for next year. Very good lessons learned this summer. Even making a billion mistakes the plants produced pretty big pumpkins.
Goal is to go over 1,000 next summer.
