Day 33 I measured 115-75-76, 266 OTT for 403 pounds. Based on the tape that is 14 lbs over the current state record. I don't know how Dave had measured last week so my numbers may be a little inconsistant with his but that's what I got. Since I don't get to be in the patch much these days I took the shade tarp off for a while to get some good shots of the 1230. What a beautiful day today. I got the plant cleaned up pretty good, it took me 6 hours to weed yesterday. The older leaves have taken a serious beating and I don't know how long the plant can hold up, so I'm letting all new leaves and vines grow, tertiaries included. I cut about 6 new pumpkins off the plant. After the leaves dry off I'll spray daconil as I am seeing some PM.
