Using graphs

Many of us keep track of  our pumpkin measurements, but plotting the growth rates on a chart can be a very useful tool. You can see at a glance when pumpkins start to increase or decrease in rate and size.
 
Get some quarter inch graph paper at the drugstore; mark every day since pollination along the bottom, then  vertically along the left side, mark the circumference in 2 inch increments.
 
On mine, I've super-imposed the growth curve of "Al Eaton's Typical Pumpkin" to give a better idea of how I'm doing. - And so far I'm doing great!
