Here is my best pumpkin on day 48 at 516 lbs. She grew only 10 lbs yesterday, but I also measured her 4 hours early, so it could be a good bit more. As you can see the skin is starting to get small brown cracks. There are many of these around the blossom end, but none of them run deep--just little splits. I have started to uncover her during the day so that she will not sweat as I think she has--hence the brown scars. Anyway, looks like she won't be very pretty--as long as she is heavy. My tape has run out at 120 inches circ--I will stich another tape measure to it so that I can continue to tape the pumpkin. Still need to do weeding and a good pesticide application. If tomorrow is cloudy, I may do it.
