Main pumpkin gained about 6 lbs yesterday. This puts it at 652 lbs on day day 63--It is thumping fairly hard right now too. Measured twice, and looks like she is still gaining--even if it is slow. Also, measured the pumpkin on the secondary, and it has gained 30 lbs over the last 8 days--not great, but that puts the secondary fruit at 446 lbs. +1000lbs on the one plant. To bad the 1000lbs has to be spread out over two fruits!
Anyway, a couple of pretty decent fruit still growing slowly. Boy, I'd love to hit 800+ lbs on the main fruit--since this was my psychologocal goal ever since the start of the season. If it gains for another month and goes heavy there is still a chance it could hit the 800's. In my family pool, my bet was 700 lbs, and the nearest contender was at 650 lbs--so she better at least hit the 700 lb mark so I win the 50 $!
Good luck all. I see the Lawman and the NSB are starting to get some double-digit gains--it's about time eh guys! Look out though, I might be able to get this fruit out of my yard and off to the North Shore weigh-off with a little luck (and seeing as it isn't really that heavy yet my buddies might be able to lift her). When is that weigh-off anyway Glen? Anyway, hope you guys get the best of our mild, late summers, here in God's country--otherwise known as the Pacific North-West.
