How many days will a pumpkin grow?


Assuming reasonable weather and no frost.  How many days can a pumpkin
continue to grow and gain weight?  The other side of the question is, when
is it to early to pollinate?  Over the years I have seen some pumpkins that
look like they have been growing it seems forever but not just because of
the size.  Sometimes they just look like very old men.  Is a pumpkin 'done'
when  growth is to slow to measure over the course of a few days?  Has the
Great Pumpkin already come and gone from my patch and I missed him?
