Well, it looks like my season may be winding down. My OTT total for today is only 1-1/2" bigger than nine days ago. However, my circumference measurement was probably off today given that it was slightly less than before.

Either way, the 584.2 Frei fruit hasn't grown very much since the hail storm. But, I also haven't fertilized for a while. So, I'll do some of that tomorrow if it's not too rainy.

I'm estimating it to be about 210 pounds. That's only five pounds since the last measurements. Is there any chance that it's way heavier than it looks? Maybe it actually weighs close to 1500 pounds, amking it 700% over the charts :-)

This shot shows the side of the pumpkin that sustained hail damage. A couple of days ago I pasted over some of the dents with sulphur. Most of the dings were already healed at that point. But, hopefully, the sulphur will help keep it rot free.
