Best of luck and thanks a lot, Jamie >>
Jamie:
Impossible to guess at this early stage. Too many outside influences.
Try measuring your pumpkin's growth rate by circumference every other day to
chart it's progress. As your pumpkin develops, you will see a definite
growth pattern. You may see your pumpkin grow several inches in just one day
as it gets larger. This is the peak growth period, which will slow and
eventually stop near harvest time.
Good luck.
