It has been a long time since an update, I have been such a slacker! Here is the fruit growing on the Pitura that is still alive and kicking. I last measured it on Wednesday, Sept. 10th and it currently stands at 70.5 inches in circumference for an estimated weight of 113 pounds. It is still growing at about .75 inches per day but is gradually slowing down. As of Sept. 5th, the ground was absolutely bone dry, not a molecule of water anywhere that didn't come out of a hose. In the past week we've gotten 4.6 inches of rain (most of that from TS Hanna) and that doesn't include what is falling today. Typical weather for this area, from one extreme to the other!
