The weather is fine but the pumpkins are slowing way down. 1068 Papez is at estimated 826# , gaining 4 per day. It will have to speed up a little or go heavy if it is to make 900# by weighoff. Still this is uncharted territory for us. It is now measuring larger than the one that split for Jacob a week ahead of weighoff in 2005. I bet this one would have gone much bigger if we had decent weather in May and June.
893 Privitera is estimated 472#, gaining 3 per day. It might just make 500#. Jacob has his second knee scope on Friday, so he will be gimping around on crutches for Pumpkinfest. Still he pulled his weight in the patch this year. Hopefully he has a shot at the pretty pumpkin award, as it is the best looking one we have ever grown.
