Pumpkin taping out to about 728 lbs. I tried to wiggle it a little today to test weight and to my surprise I could wiggle it a bit--makes me think it might be lighter than I figure.

Finally pulled the tarp to give it some sun over the next couple of days--maybe give it some colour. It seemd to be holding out nicely--no rot on the stem, which still looks young. Splits all dried up as far as I can tell.

Anyway, in the picture you can see the problem I am faced with. The pumpkin has to be moved down the walkway. The grass is quite steep and slippery, and the walkway is not all that wide--although it is a little over 3 feet wide.

Must keep it covered well from the rain over the next couple of weeks, I may even throw some extra plastic over it.
