Morning Harvest for the Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (x self)

Knowing every pound was needed for a potential personal best, and with a mid-day weigh off the pumpkin was harvested the morning of the event. This required some planning and set-up the day before but everything went as expected. Step one was to remove some of the plant to gain access to the pumpkin. The green trailer (more details on this later) was used to put the plant in so it could be removed from the growing site. Even though there were no major signs of disease or rots, if possible this is a good practice in general.
