Day 20 and my largest has hit a circ. of 55 (approx 60lbs--up 11 lbs from 49lbs estimate yesterday). The other one is not far behind at 51 inches circ. Still short of the 68 it needs to be on track for 1000lbs. . .but not bad for me--definitely better than last year.

Already starting my composting efforts for next year. I have a large pit behind my plant (10X4X4 feet deep) that I took soil out of to bury the pumpkin vines over the lawn. Today I did about 4 hours of trimming in the yard and filled the pit up with organic debris. I will continue to fill it up over the summer and fall and then I will eventually put a couple of feet of soil over it before planting time next year. Have other things planed too, but I should not get ahead of myself.
