The shape was really nice. It grew up to early September only. With another month to go, you could expect another 200lb or so. Sad but it is what it is.
We met a very and dry summer with 4 heat waves up to 40C. Not ideal conditions but the plant was okay and not stressing much but I still used a shading net just to be safe.
As every year now, we cut it and offered all pieces to our village and caritative associations.
People keeps saying it s as tasty as a classic pumpkin. All enjoyed it !
