Thanks to everyone's advice...the 3 biggest pumpkins that are set are 
growing madly!  The first one is now bigger than a soccer ball at 8 days old 
and growing every day.  Others are keeping pace though both are a bit 
smaller.  I am about ready to start thinning off some of the other ones that 
the bees pollinated.  I found a HUGE flower saturday with a 12 lobe center 
and couldn't resist pollinating it just in hopes it might turn out something 
huge.  There is already one on the vine although it is only 6 feet from the 
base but it is nearly soccerball size.  This one is on the same vine out 15 
feet...which might be better after all.  It will be interesting to see.
Does anyone switch fertilizers after fruit set to something with lower 
nitrogen and higher potash, potassium and magnesium?  Advice please, for a 
first time grower.  Also, how much is TOO much water during this hot 
weather?  Thanks for the help and it is sure fun reading all the e-mails 
about pumpkins!
