Last season I started with an Atlantic giant but it only lasted about 3 weeks. Then I had to start over with Prizewinner... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=178090 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=178090 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:53:23 GMT It doubled in size overnight! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=178066 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=178066 Fri, 11 May 2012 09:05:21 GMT In its first 7 days, this guy has grown 10x in size.

Let the season begin! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=177455 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=177455 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:31:48 GMT Irene has grown a little larger. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=169575 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=169575 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:26:27 GMT After 55 hours without power because of hurricane Irene, we are finally back "on the grid". Hurray for hot water, lights and internet access! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168855 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168855 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 22:38:07 GMT The patch looks very empty with Abby gone and all the leaves knocked down. You can see Daisy still growing in the patch and Irene is just out of frame on the left. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168854 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168854 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 22:26:53 GMT Here is the underside of Abby as we pulled her from the patch. Based on the wind damaged plant, mystery brown spots that continue to spread, signs of impending milky mildew and the split at the stem,... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168850 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168850 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 22:18:36 GMT I discovered this little surprise about 25 feet out along the main vine this morning.

Obviously I'll have to name her Ir... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168846 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168846 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:55:01 GMT I found this split just before the storm but it has gotten bigger since then. I think it is from the stem pulling away from the main vine as the pumpkin gets larger. Next year I will have to do ... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168845 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=168845 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:52:48 GMT It's the morning after the storm and I have no power. Here is a close up of Abby and the patch.
