Here's my pumpkin on day 35. There has been a whole lot of rain here lately. So, I've needed to set my water timer to "delay" almost every day this week. The plants may even be getting too much water.

But, it's still growing at pretty much the same rate as before. The circumference is 76-3/4" and the OTT is 178-5/8"/ So, I am estimating the weight at over 135 pounds.

It's already outgrowing its first piece of styrofoam. And, the shade structure is a bit too small. Rain is still getting in. The sand underneath it was damp and the rain caused specks of soil bounced off the ground onto the fruit. Although, with the way it rained today, it would have gotten in anyway.
