She’s 18 DAP, 25inches circ. and grows 1-2 inches if sunny warm or 1/2-1 inch in cloudy weather each day.

I’ve come to realize My seeds are part of it but also my smaller growing area limits me. So I may not get as large as I hoped for, but happy as this one likely has “set” and won’t abort on me now.

I got a lot more growth out of the plant, more vines in the ground. Tomorrow I’m going to terminate the vines and hopefully increase pumpkin growth. I was too nervous to do it before and then end up with no pumpkin. I feel better about where I stand now, and next year I’m building a raised 3 feet by like 16 feet raised rock planting area with room to grow up and over the sides a bit. I know it’s not large area, but it’s better than what I got now :)
