OOps! Estimated weight is at 541 lbs, not 441 lbs as in previous entry. I see, after some diary review, that I have taken 8 days to get the last 100 lbs. At this rate (and if all goes well) maybe another 200 lbs left in August for my best fruit. But if the weatehr picks up. . .

Stem end split on the second pumpkin looks worse. I WILL spray instecticide tomorrow--must not get lazy. Of course today I was busy cutting down 2 fruit trees (plum and an apple). Tomorrow I want to cut down a huge hazelnut. I simply have too much to do in the yard with all the gardening and hedge trimmin ect. to worry about unproductive fruit trees. The hazelnut gets picked clean every year by squirrels, the plum has not had crop in 2 years, and the apple tree has about 10 lbs of apples a year.

But I am rambling. . .the reason I am really cutting these trees is beacuse they are taking sun and water from my regular garden--the future site of another giant pumpkin plant.
