Taping 357" on Day 55 a couple of days back. Beautiful pumpkin even with the scar. Still growing well but the weather is cold and damp and powdery mildew is spreading fast through the patch.
PM isn't an issue initially as it doesn't take much energy from the plant. Main issue is that it blocks light to the leaves and so photosynthesis is limited.
Biggest problem is keeping the scar dry in the damp air and with some good UK growers losing pumpkins this year, ca. 35 days left is a long way yo go to keep it from rotting
