All of you are amazing. I got so disheartened when the powdery mildew got into full throttle mode. I totally lost steam. That said, I have two that got over 40" in circumference and probably weigh over 20 lbs (I really have no idea...they are both bigger than pumpkins I would normally buy for jack o'lanterns). I let one of the hanging ones just dangle to see how long it would last. It grew to 25" in circumference and about 7 lbs. The vine was SO strong! It finally dropped to the ground today. It was the pumpkin/stem junction that gave out. I will try to take a photo of all the runty pumpkins I produced. I don't think anything is growing any larger than it currently is.
To amuse myself through the waning weeks, I created a tiktok account for my pumpkins. Pairing pumpkins to popular music really annoyed my husband, but my kids found it hilarious.
Here's to next year! I am excited to apply the knowledge and experience I have gained. One day....as big as a CAR!
