Not a good day. While checking the bottom of our yellow pumpkin, the stem snapped. So we need to bring it into cool storage in the basement and hope it holds up until weigh off. Yesterday we picked the one with the dry stem and it was rotten on the bottom.
Checked on the 962.5 and the whole bottom had rotted into a pile of mush.
The 1818.5 hasn't grown since September 7. It has to last another 13 days until Pumpkinfest.
Our Harvest Bash pumpkins are still growing, faster than they did the first part of September. One is at 912#, gaining 13.5 per day the last 6 days. The other is 608# gaining 10 per day. Warm weather, a bunch of rain and removing a couple of "sap suckers" seems to have boosted them. I hope it stays warm for them, but I wouldn't mind seeing it cool off for the 1818.5
