The Mckie pumpkin went down this week. It has been slowing down for the last 2 weeks and didn't grow at all the past five days. We noticed a big soft spot on the front of the pumpkin right where the vine was sitting on it. I was afraid that the inside of the pumpkin was starting to rot, so I cut it open to save the seeds. The inside looked fine and I was able to harvest quite a few seeds. The amazing thing was how think the pumpkin was. This picture shows that the pumpkin was 9 1/2 inches thick. It was only estimating about 480 lbs., but I bet it would have gone well over that being so thick.
