Here's my second fruit, the only one on the 300 Gerry plant. It has a really strange shape, but a nice light orange colour. It would be so much nicer without all of the hail damage. I may enter it in the Royal Winter Fair just for fun. But, I think that they have the right to reject fruits that aren't aesthetically pleasing. And, this is one ugly pumpkin.
I haven't paid much attention to it in my diary. But, it's pretty big now. I can't tell how fast it has grown because I haven't measured it very often. But, yesterday would have been close to 40 days since its open pollination.
The OTT was 188-1/8" with a circumference of 85-7/8". That would make the estimated weight close to 150 pounds, maybe a bit more. But, since this was a deformed flower, it became a deformed pumpkin. One of the lobes didn't seem to grow. That is what gave it the funny shape. And, the shape makes it unlikely that the chart will give an accurate weight estimate.
