Today is 52 DAP and 986lb which is 13% better than same stage last year, I need to maintain at least 10% to beat 1500lb which is my aim this year. Recent hot and sunny weather has helped massively, but we're in for several days if not a week of cloud and rain, just when we don't want it. This view is from the stem end which shows a polycarbonate sheet suspended by ropes from the metal framework so that water from the overhead misters will run off without getting the pumpkin wet. The sheet also has a white tarp fastened to it to reflect heat and light. The thermostat for the overheads is just to the left of the pumpkin slightly above leaf height.
