I hope that moving the vine and fruit around yesterday didn't give its system too much of a shock. I was gentle, but moved everything a bit more than usual.
While taking pictures today I noticed that the skin is starting to turn a little bit darker. Not quite orange. But, more beige than the previous pale yellow. This may have something to do with the fact that the shade structure I have doesn't really shade the pumpkin much from 4pm or so until sunset.
The OTT today (day 30 after pollination) was 166-1/4" with a circumference of 70-7/8" for an estimated weight of about 113 pounds.
Measurements might be a bit different since the measurement to the ground will have changed now that the fruit is sitting on the styrofoam and sand. I measured to the styrofoam, not the actual ground (as will be my practice for the remainder of the season). But, there still could be some variance.
