1378 Pitura - day 60

Still alive, though with 2 rib splits and BES. Not growing much anymore. Estimated 965 lbs.

In other veggie news:
Best LONG GOURD is the 122 Eaton - day 13 and 89 cm (35").
Still got a wee little 824 Brunst* SQUASH growing in the trial patch. Day 28 was 172 lbs.
RUTABAGA went down to rot. No more rutabagas outside here.
Got a few nice MARROWS going. Short, fat ones on the 118.8 Glazebrook plants, a smoothie on Cross#2 and a ribbed one on Cross#4. The 90.6 Wursten is looong: now at 98 cm (38.6") and still quite young.
Almost all TOMATO plants or tomatoes have rotted. Still got 2 big ones going and a number of smaller ones. Have pulled 5 of the 15 plants.
All the CORN has a tassle now. Tallest (still growing a bit) is 4.10 meters.
