Hello all! Just wondering if anyone has a nice pumpkin set on their 840 Desrosiers plant? So far I have one pollinated on the main vine on July 9th which looks to be going fine. Anyone have anything of interest to share?

Mine is the size of a tennis ball. I burnt some leaves with too much fertilize. Today I also saw a mole hole in the patch. This plant is having a hard life around here!

My 840 is doing great! I have two pollinated on the main (pollinated on 7/4 and 7/7).

Today it suffered heat damage in the center of the plant and I had to cut off several leaves. Most were already damaged from wind so I am not kicking myself too bad.

This is the best plant I have ever grown.
