Almost fully grown into the 1100 foot patch. Trying to get these long secondaries from behind the fruit to the far end of the patch takes a long time. Too long, but it's an experiment.
All secondaries should be dead headed by early next week. I have to dead head, regardless of where they are. The vines never really slowed down which is good when you're trying to fill 1100 square feet, but bad when you're trying to grow a large pumpkin. The pumpkin never took over the plant. I'm too far past the "good days" of fruit set to see huge gains, but hopefully it goes steady on the gains and slow on the taper over the next 30-40 days.
This fruit isn't worth talking about. I've been stuck in the 20-29 pound range all year. Boring. We'll see how slow it can taper with a huge young plant.
