Today is day 80 for the pumpkin on the 893. The OTT is 329 which should put it around 730 lbs. That’s about 3 lbs per day for the past 10 days. I found a slimy section on the vine near the stem a couple days ago. I sprayed everything with fungicide and put a fan on it. It seems to have dried it up. I took measurements of the patch today. The 893 plant is 640 sq. ft. I also built the lifting tripod this week. I’m planning on loading it on September 26th for the State Fair of Virginia weigh off which is September 27th.
