Re: Est Final weight.
Well by that estimation my pumpkin should weigh 544 lbs. WOOOHOOOO me. My
goal is to beat last years weight of 343lbs. If it continues to grow at the
current rate I well be on cloud nine!
I have had the weather from hell this year. Late cool spring, had snow!!
Then lots and lots of cool and wet weather, with lots of severe storms.
Then at the end of July we had flash floods, almost 8 inches of rain in 18
hrs. My poor pumpkin patch was underwater!!
So I well hold on to the dream that my pumpkin "could" weigh 544 at the end
of the season .
Thanks Al Eaton you made my day!!!!
