Pumpkin is taping to about 720 lbs. I gotta weigh it this week unless I see some growth, it has really stopped growing these last couple of weeks and I would like to harness the seeds for next year as I think there is some good potential in them (1446 X self). I may grow my own seed next year just to see what it can do. Right now I am on the hunt for some good cow manure--it's hard to find. I just don't trust any of that topsoil/manure/compost you buy at the nurseries as I think a lot of it is substandard and may even be damaging to soil chemistry (I've heard some horror stories about how they make it). I hope to find a farmer who has some good cow manure. Definitely need more copmost/manure for next year to grow em' big--and if I hope to go over 1000 lbs. Lot's of work to do extending the patch. It will be a busy fall.
Good luck all.
