We have had lots and lots of water. It has rained a ton in the last two days and I am amazed at the pumpkin growth. My pumpkins have been slow all year, but in the past two days I wouldn't be surprised if they gained 100 pounds! A huge jump in the growth rate. Could it be because the water is nice and warm? One of my back up pumpkins on the 1778 Skinner avtually blew up. This afternoon I noticed it had tons of splits. Then when I touched the pumpkin I heard a cracking noise and a big new crack opened up. Lots of turgor pressure. I had to pick some green beans in the rain today and they were so brittle it was hard to pick them with out splitting them in half. Maybe there is something to the idea of warm water and lots of it.
