Giant pumpkin question

[aninocentangel]

I'm voting for naming the 1081 Loenzi Vito (as in Corleone), and the 1112 Holland Turk.
I've been watching too many mobster movies lately lol.

sorry you forgot about the water, I'm sure you're pretty unhappy with yourself. Do you have a timer doohickey?

[Amigatec]

Yes it waters for 1 hour each day and then it will mist from 1 to 3 p.m.

The 1081 was pollinated on June 7th my Day 10 measurement (June 17th) was 34" and I have already reached the Day 20 mark.

Woohoo! I'm rootin for Leon!

May we see a picture of the now not so little pumpkins?

[veggie babe]

My giant pumpkin is still green and looks healthy BUT with the 100+ temp everyday I don't know if we will have babies or not. I have a shade over the plant but it is so hot and dry it will be a miracle if the grandkids get their pumpkin this year. I guess there is always next year to look forward to.

hot in Texas and no relief expected

It's a little dark under the cover cloth.

The first one is the 1081 and the second one the 1112.

Your progress is absolutely amazing. I'm just trying to keep mine alive at this point. What's your temps running now?

I have a bad measurement somewhere, my F-B measurement from yesterday can not be 63", it should have been 58 or 59. The F-B measurement today is only 60". I have doubled checked today and it is only 60". The S-S and F-B measurements are only increase by 1 to 2" a day. I did the same thing last year and got the wrong measurement.

[aninocentangel]

Well, are the front-back measurements important?
I know that you calculate the weight from the measurements, but I thought it was based on circumference, like livestock weight tapes are. Then again, I suppose you're measuring from blossom to stem, which would be half the circumference, so it's pretty much the same concept.
