Getting big now
Mark and I have switched to OTT measurements, as the pumpkins are too large to lift to get the tape under them. Today's totals were 162" for Mark and 181" for mine, ~105 lbs and 135 lbs with 5 weeks to go and decent weather on the way. Off and on rain and steamy weather has added lbs quickly for mine, but also lots more powdery mildew. Pics from about a week ago at mark's:
Weigh Off 2013
Loaded up with help from the neighbors:
Then over to Mark's for the weigh off- Pulley system for Mark worked well again this year-
My first attempt in the tarp blew out the rivets... A good sign for weight, but bad sign for the technical part of finding a way to weigh it...

Cut and Run
Weather turned nasty the last few weeks, but still put on a few more pounds. Big thanks to Dave and Pumpkin Dolly 2000 for carrying the load one more year. Weigh off is next week!
