Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (x sibling (indoor plant))
Due to CYVD the plant was removed early since the pumpkin growth completely stopped, which is characteristic of this disease. Leaving a pumpkin outside in the elements typically leads to only bad things, so this is why I decided to harvest it well in advance of the actual weigh-off date, so that I could store it a protected area.
After all the work and seeing the plant and pumpkin responding to the adjustments I was making during the season, it is sad to see the growth get cut short of its true potential. However, I believe that a pumpkin at the scale is an accomplishment, no matter the size, so as long as it does not rot, I will be loading it up for the Woodstock Fair.
