The one on the main is up about 19 lbs. OTT is 261 for an estimated weight of 371 lbs. Fruit is looking good on both stem and blossom end. Shade structures + blankets are working really well as the fruit is quite big and still quite white--skin is still fairly soft. Pumpkin has yet to develop ribs--which makes me think it will swell considerably more. I'd like to see some new foliage as some of the old leaves are starting to yellow and die one by one it seems. Also, there is the aphids and some inch worm is making holes in some too. Lots of leaves are still deep green and upright. Should break 400 lbs before August. 25 lb gains seem to be fading though with the hot weather--time will tell. It's weird, last year I hardly used any of my tape measure, now I am running out of room on it!
