Pumpkins are still growing and with the better weather I have gone from 9 lbs a day back up to 14 pounds a day I dont know how long it will last but it is a good thing. My 1502 Wallace is really turning into an ugly bugger. It has dill rings sags sunk in blossom end and a small stem split. I look at it every day wondering when it is going to let go lol. I think it could go heavy if it lasts. I remember Ron Wallace last year had one the same color and texture out of his 1502 and it went way over the charts. My pumpkin is going to need to be real thick if it is going to last for another 6 weeks. The 1334 is still growing as well just slow and steady the peanut shape has kind of gone away and it is getting longer and wider. Try not to look at the weeds they are real bad but I have not been able to get into my patch in 3 weeks due to heavy downpours and if I start pulling the large weeds I think I will do more damage to the pumpkin roots than if I just leave them alone it has been one of those years and for me to still have 2 pumpkins going I feel very lucky. Here is a look at both pumpkins.
