Pumpkins are really swelling. I have about 6 that are almost the size of volleyballs. My biggest one yesterday measured 22 inches in circumference on day 9. I won't measure it today because it is getting heavy to lift and I am scared I might break the blossom end by lifting it to get the tape under it. It will definitely be 24 inches on day 10 though--I am pretty pleased about that. Pollinated another 3 this morning--why not. Don't think I will be keeping them (that makes 27 pollinations on this plant). Got up late today 6:30am. No water yesterday, watching for rot.
