At 1.5 inches larger than the 2170 LeBlanc, she is the largest pumpkin in the patch. I have decided to name her Scylla. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362124 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362124 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 07:45:58 GMT The 2507 Noel pumpkin has reached DAP 60 also. Growth has been reduced to about 14 pounds per day. Not sure why this is as the other two are still gaining in the mid 20s. This plant and pumpkin get th... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362082 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362082 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 05:57:55 GMT DAP 60 picture of the 2170 Leblanc pumpkin. She is starting to cantaloupe on several of her ribs and is beginning to show some color. I've decided to name her Moby Dick. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362081 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362081 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 05:51:16 GMT Looks like we lost some weight since yesterday. At least you can see the numbers now. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361987 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361987 Wed, 12 Aug 2026 07:36:19 GMT My first tomato came in at 2.3 pounds. Not sure why the camera didn't pick up the weight on the scale. Trick of light I guess. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361984 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361984 Wed, 12 Aug 2026 07:26:19 GMT Patch view http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361983 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361983 Wed, 12 Aug 2026 07:25:31 GMT Close-up of these bumps on my 1917 Pappas pumpkin. Not sure what caused them, they just showed up one day. They weren't oozing or sapping and never spread any further after first discovering them. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361982 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361982 Wed, 12 Aug 2026 07:24:57 GMT All three pumpkins were moved today. Because this will be the last time I can probably move them due to their size, they were all pulled back to a distance I feel will be adequate to last the season. ... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361719 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361719 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 13:15:12 GMT Yesterday was DAP 50 for the 1917 Pappas pumpkin she gained 34 pounds per day in the last 10 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361718 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361718 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 13:11:36 GMT Side view of the 2170 LeBlanc http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361646 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361646 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 06:56:08 GMT The 2170 LeBlanc pumpkin is 50 days old today also. She is a wide load for sure. This pumpkin and the 1917 Pappas are exactly the same size. The 1917 is two days younger. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361645 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361645 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 06:55:33 GMT The 2507 Noel pumpkin is 50 days old today. Although not as large as my other two pumpkins, the thump test tells me she probably weighs as much. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361644 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361644 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 06:52:00 GMT Day 40 for the 1917 X 2507 Noel pumpkin. It had the largest day 40 OTT total of the three pumpkins growing this year.

This is one of the most aggressive plants I've ever grown. I cut off tertiaries every day. I know I pinched those emerging vines, but they still show up. It was the ... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361325 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=361325 Sun, 26 Jul 2026 05:44:15 GMT This crab came up in one of my lobster pots yesterday.
