Subject: Howard Dill's Weight Method?
> I have been trying to estimate the weight of my pumpkin but am quite
confused with Howard Dills method. My pumpkin is 52" around, 36" from stem
to blossom end (measured to ground), and 37.5" parallel to stem (measured to
ground). When I add these up and use Dills method I come up with 188lbs. I
know there is no way the pumpkin weighs that much!
> When using the Stelphug (spelling?) method it weighs 20lbs. The problem
with this is that it has gained less than a pound since it was 41" around
last week.
> What am I doing wrong with these calculations? Also, my pumpkin is growing
at an average of 2" per day over the last 6 days. 40" last Thursday and 52"
today. Is this a normal growth rate for this period?
