RE: Al Eaton's 10-20-30 day gauge

Hello Mark K.--the figures I have,just from my own AGs over the last 4-5
years from 1000+ AGs are as follows:

day 10---25"
day 20---70"
day 30--110"

These are averages and since it is only the circumference,the shape of the
little AG (long and low vs short and high)should be mentally factored in.

It is only an indicator for interest sake but I think all the top AGs each
year need to start at about this rate to show they have top potential.

Joe Ailts has done a statistical study of many top AGs and his figures are
slightly greater,plus he has a day 40 figure.

Another way to use the numbers is,if your're getting:
day 10-20--about 4.5"/day
day 20-30--about 4"/day
day 30-40--about 2.6"/day  (I'm using Joe Ailts day 40 figure her)

then you are doing just fine.

Cheers--AE

Does anyone have the 10-20-30 day circumference #'s to gauge your pumpkin's
early growth?

Thanks.

Mark
