Denver Update - or Growing Pumpkins in a Desert


Hello all,

Today marks the 50th day this year with high temperatures > 90 degrees  (the
average is 30 days a year - the all time record is 60 days).  In the last 6
weeks it has rained twice in my patch - things are a bit dusty.  

I've got one pumpkin left on a Hester 850.  The pumpkin is 33 days old: 106
- 68.5 - 66.5 --> 241 OTT --> about 298 pounds --> averaging 20 pounds a day
for the last 10 days.  Pictures can be found at:

Good luck to everyone...
