Another 10 lb gain today. Estimated weight is about 441 (299 OTT circ being 122.5). I have noticed the shoulders of the pumpkin are starting to get really close to the main vine again--and the pumpkin is perfectly parallel to the main vine, not sure what kind of problems this could cause a couple of hundred lbs down the road (if she gets that far). Guess I'll have to wait and see. My rain meter registered 1 cm of rain last night, so I did not water today at all--don't want to cause any sudden growth spurts. Weather man says more rain on the way. Then it is supposed to get hotter. The rot on the back primary seems to be under control. The makeshift cover I constructed seems to work well. Leaves showing age a lot over the last day or two--maybe the high humidity--good thing I sprayed for mildew. Aphids are everywhere, just waiting for the right weather to spray with something strong.
