1566 pumpkin taped today at 146 circ, 93 ss, 91 ee = 330 OTT for an est. wt. of 756 lbs for a gain of 46 lbs for the week. Definitely slowing down, hoping I can get another 50 lbs on the tape before weigh-off at the Alaska State Fair on the 27th of August in Palmer. My guess is the pumpkin will go around 10% heavy and weigh somewhere around 880 lbs when it is all said an done. Weather this year was as bad as I've ever seen. Looks like we will only have 3 days where the temperature reached 70 all summer long and those three days it just reached 70. Night time temperatures this last week fell into the mid to upper 30s three nights running, a sure sign the end is near.
