Measurements today.
1818.5 Bryson day 79, est. 1107# gaining 4# per day. If it holds up and doesn't go too light it may be a personal best.
962.5 McWilliams day 74,est. 755# gaining 5# per day
1047.5 McWilliams around day 70, 796# gaining 10# per day. This one has 30 days until it is picked, so we hope it can keep up the 10# pace for a while.
We have some late sets on plants that lost pumpkins earlier in the season, but they aren't growing as fast as we hoped,
Our best long gourd rotted on the end, so we will be lucky to have one over 6' long.
Our biggest field pumpkins are turning orange and won't grow much but at least 1 will be a personal best if it holds up. We have another green one growing but I'm sure the state record is in no danger of being broken by me or Jacob.
Watermelons have slowed down but are personal bests if they survive ti the weigh off.
