Here is another shot of my fastest growing fruit. This morning I went to give the patch a sprinkle before work and she had grown noticeably since yesterday--I'll post measurements when I get home today in the evening. A six lober I pollinated a few days ago about 3 feet down from the one in the photo has also started to swell quickly--it has a really long thick stem, and the vine is not so busted up, but is in an even worse position on the hill--don't think I'll keep it--I dunno. Other 3 pumpkins on the far back of the plant are starting to swell too--but slower--and the one I pollinated several days ago on the back main is slow to swell (as is the one on the other back main)--I think I will cut them in a couple of days. I pollinated 2 more females today on the other side of the plant on secondaries, and 1 more female below the 6 lober--did a quick job and tied them shut. 2-3 more females to pollinate tomorrow. Also, the pumpkin on the main is growing well--second fastest, and maybe a bit faster since I chopped off the one further up the main. Have to keep track so I know how fast they grow. Looking to keep 2 fruit.
