well, that dark spot that seemed to have healed on noah's stem opened back up and ran the entire length of the upper surface of stem about 1/3" deep. all rot was removed, cleaned with bleach water, dried, and captan and a fan are all being used to save the stem as long as possible. noah averaged 8 lbs per day for the last 6 days and is 327.5 ott or 740 pounds est. on day 57. the stem splits that lead into the pumpkin on tre' have healed. a piece of straw will go into the splits on the stem and disappear into the pumpkin area around the stem, but stop at about 1 and a half inches. Timmer's pumpkin had this last year way worse than mine and healed up good, and was still fine after cutting off and lasted all the way to halloween and never rotted in that area. it is still growing at 10 pounds average per day and is estimated at 560 pounds on day 49.
hoping to get them both to the weigh off in tact and maybe have one over the 700 pound mark and one over the 800 mark.
