Wayne,
Thanks for that, I guess I was leaning towards leaving the larger one but
the shape has clinched it. I had cross pollinated the smaller one while the
other was open so I was hoping it would be okay but there you go.
I will have to juggle the stands without doing damage to the fruit and the
larger pumpkin is probably too heavy to lift now.
The progress suddenly decreased on all three pumpkins in one day I suspect
due to the weather. The thing is that it was on a sunny day following a
cloudy day. Is it likely the cloudy day caused the slow-down? Does it take a
day for the effect to come through? It may be that there was a previous
boost due to rain and it is settling back.
