Re: Squash Surprises for 99
Andy,
My 815 was at 246" on 8-22-98 ....... 101 - 75 - 70 ....... that put it at 316
pounds .....
The day I cut it ( Sept. 30th.) it was 690 pounds. Official weight on Oct.
3rd. was 684.5
Sounds like your right on track and then some ! Hang in their and don't push it.
Play it safe and let it do it's thing .....
Mine had hardly any canteloping. Do you have it well shaded ?
Good Luck,
Bob T.
