Hello Growers-

I hope this finds you well. I've seen plenty of references to the A/L benchmark spreadsheet- suggesting that this tool is perhaps useful as a means of tracking and comparing pumpkin growth.

This project is always a work in process. It is my desire to continue adding utility to this database, as well as more data points to enhance the accuracy/reliability of the numbers it presents.

Since the measuring tapes are hot on people's minds, again I am going to solicit your pumpkin data. I am asking for your 50-60-70 day circumferences on fruit over 1000lbs, to have a better comparison for late season growth.

I'd also like to beging adding OTT measurements to the chart, as a more accurate depiction of what it takes to reach the bigger 4 digit numbers.

If you have contributed 1000+ data in the past, please dig up the extended day data and send it along in an email. The 1200lb category desperately needs more data points before I feel it has relevance as well.

For those of you who have been blessed with 1200+, your data contributions are priceless!!!

And for the rest of you with 1000+ aspirations, make sure your record keeping pencils are sharp!
