Bhaskaran Patch Update #4 August 1, 2005 -
Howdy!
Hope this note finds your patch and pumpkins doing extremely well!
I had one of my best pumpkins, the 759.5 Bhaskaran 04 Split on me on July
25th...it had reached a max of 29lbs per day and was 508lbs on day 36. Now,
things have slowed down as we had a few nights below 50 degrees early last
week...but we had a run of hot weather that SE MN rarely sees and with NO Rain(I'm
on a well...so no problem! lol :-) for most of July...in fact up till July
25th...best I can ever remember for warm nights...which is the KEY!
I have updated the web page if you wish to see them:
