Then there is Janet on the 892 Love plant in the 150 sq ft contest. As I stood in the patch, I started to count secondaries and number of leaves on the 892 plant and ended up with 144 total number of leaves. I’m very curious to see how many pounds per leaf we can get out of a small plant like this.

I’ve heard the number thrown out there that you can get up to 3-5 lbs per leaf contributing weight to the overall pumpkin. That would mean this pumpkin is likely to be anywhere from 432 lbs to 720 lbs.

She’s the fastest grower in the patch right now and is also at day 22.
