Re: Pumpkin Grow th

What a co-inky-dink! Duncan's uncle Bill just e-mailed me this chart. I
find my "baby" pumpkin is just about exactly right on target -- it's about
20 days since pollination and it's 50 inches around.

Also of interest, and it may be on someone's pumpkin page, is Al Eaton's
grower's diary, showing where a typical pumpkin should be at various dates
after pollination. 

I won't type it all, but here are some numbers:

9 days after pollination - 15" circumference
14 days - 30"
20 days - 50"
27 days - 70'
35 days - 90"
52 days - 110"
57 days - 120"
71 days - 130"
82 days - 135"

I'm currently lagging on this - after 14 days my best was 21"
