The pumpkins are doing well I think. Growth has slowed down a little - hopefully only because it was quite hot all week. Thunder Shark is in the lead, but has a 10 day head start. The plants are looking nice too. Leaves are mostly in nice condition apart from some aging in the center and on the big first-terminated secondaries.
Thunder Shark (1832.5 x self pollinated) is 45 days old. Estimated weight 1170 lbs (532kg). Average gain per day over last 5 days: 41.4 lbs per day (18.8kg). Stem splits are healing well.
