Hyper growth time

Mill fabric under Hester #2... growing a little faster, and on main vine (versus Hester #1, which is off side vine).  A little riskier since it's on a slope and the main vine is cracked, but no risk, no reward.  =)  About 10 lbs here... versus Mark at ~40 lbs.

Vine as a whole looking great, in the pattern I was hoping for, but wanted it to fill in the brown grass area, too.  Still, with 175 leaves on right now, should be able to push out 100 lbs+

Cast-off island coming along nicely- good MT pumpkin on the vine already, pollinated another, too.  Backup in case Hester fails.

Hester #1... might be the last photo of it, as it's getting culled tonight to focus on Hester #2.  Both are about 28" and 13 pounds right now.  Warm weather on the way, into the 80's and 90's.  Applied first anti-powdery mildew spray this morning.
