Dandytown:
Mal, that's the trouble with doing really well in 2012 in that its a tough act to follow this year. How does the growth compare to your pumpkin last year? When do you plan to take it to a show/weigh off?
My update:
854 plant: 43 days, 289" OTT = 541lbs
1770 plant: 43 days, 271.5" OTT = 450 lbs + 39 day side vine, 171.5" = 120 lbs

1290 plant: 36 days, 248" OTT = 347 lbs
400 plant: 36 days, 208" OTT = 209 lbs

I hope yours wakes up Mal, think you could topple your pb
Spireite:
My pumpkins have been abysmal this year....OK only a Jack o lantern which is tiny compared with all your whoppers.....but today I 'THINK' that 1 has finally taken!!!! It's now September...so who know s if it will ripen in time for the children at Hallowe'en!!!
On a happy note, my squashes have produced a couple of fruits...it's just a case of choosing the least imperfect for the show next week (in my opinion all of them have faults, except the one festival which isn't actually ripe yet!!!!), which will be my first ever attempt at showing :sign4:

quick update on pkn its going to my local show on the 21st as are my marrows pkn is about 620lb right now so might make 700lb by the show but they dont weigh there only measure girth
marrows are doing ok ranging from 60 to 90 lb so far
these two i nick named the twins they are about finished now at 80 and 90 lb within a foot of each other on the vine there are maybe another 5 on this plant at various stages of growth these are going to be my seed stock for the future as the plant is just mental
