Freddie, one more day and it'll be 'on the tape'. Tonight's vitals are 26" ott, 21" end to end, and 45.5" circumference for a grand total of 92.5". Considering age of fruit, no great shakes, considering age of 'generic vine' AG, wonderful, and I figure in 7-14 days it'll be more than big enough to win the bet. It's starting to flatten like a big fruit, so even if it's the chihuahua in the pack it at least is acting like a pumpkin.

The Young 1009 at three days looks like it took (crossed with 1018 Langevin) and tomorrow I will sever a leaf and prepare it a place to land and re-arrange the vine for it. It has a lawn chair shade for the day....

Both of the 1018 Langevins look good (crossed with 1009 Young) at 2 and 3 days, and also need some leaf trim and vine arranging. The other 1009 is a few days from bagging yet, I'm setting two per plant then will trim at ten days and toes crossed I'm past abort then. The three day old are bigger than tennis balls quite handily and just starting to 'drop'. The two day old is between golf and tennis ball and still up.

Also put in one more bale of potmix to soak and got more humis. Two soon to be spoiled vines coming up. Oh, and last night we got rain, enough for officially "trace". I actually could dump some rain out of the gauge.
