            | Mike F. | Hanson Ma | I have been taping for a week now and I'm seeing 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" of growth on the gourd. Avg. 4 to 5 pounds a day. What would be good growth for this time of the season? | 8/30/2017 9:46:45 AM | 
		
            | Smoky Mtn Pumpkin (Team GWG) | sevierville, Tn | depends on the age of the gourd more then the time of the year i have found. | 9/1/2017 1:38:16 PM |
