Weather has cooled off. Daytime highs in mid 70's night time lows in low 50's. The 1068 Papez has still averaged 19# per day for last 4 days, taping out at 583# Monday evening. If it warms up again as it should, it still has potential for decent size. I need to charge come camera batteries and get some pictures. It started out as a wheel, and now the base is widening out into a flat tire. Ugly white color with an awful scar from the groundhog attack.

The 893 Privitera is filling out nicely with great orange color. It taped out at 289#, averaging 10# per day. Hopefully it will pick up and finish in the 500-600# range. I rescued a long gourd that got curled up on top of the trellis. It is straightening out and growing fast. It should easliy beat the first one tht has stalled out in the 50's. The plant is getting a daily 5 gallon watering with soulable fertilizer.
