This one is still growing 7 pounds a day.  I’m hoping to go over a 1000 pounds with this one.

The most recent photo of the 1223 Radach can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PumpkinFanatics.  I was so worried that I might have lost it to a blossom split.  We have been monitoring it for the past 7 days and it is clear that the split is not bad and does not go into the cavity.  You can insert a grass blade about an inch and then it bends.  This is within the blossom itself versus to the side of the blossom.  We are so happy that this pumpkin is still gaining 10 to 12 pounds a day.  The pumpkin was pollinated in June so I’m feeling very lucky to see those gains still.  It definitely tapes over 1000 pounds.

I have a chance to have two personal bests this year with the wonderful weather we have been experiencing.
