1818.5 Bryson est 853# on day 49. Gained 19.5# per day last 4 days,
962.5 McWilliams est 549# on day 45. Gained 16# per dat with no stump and no main vine past the fruit.
1444 Halverson quit growing and the leaves are starting to look sick. I don't know if has the same problem that killed the 1579 Carlson-Petersen. It did get lots of skid loader compaction last fall, but it could be insect borne. Cucumber beetles have been bad and there have been a few squash bugs.
1047.5 McWilliams: one pumpkin is up to 379# gaining 19# per day. The one with the split vine/stem is only doing about 5# a day.
We have a new contender on the 1965 Brandt. About volleyball size now, about a week old with a huge healthy plant. 54 days till Pumpkinfest, 61 days until Harvest Bash. Plenty of time to get something decent as long as nothing else goes wrong.
Watermelons still plodding along and we may have a long gourd going. Its just on a bad spot on the trellis and will need extra attention to keep it straight.
