I've been quite negligent in posting this summer. July was unbearably hot. The cooler weather has started and fall is not very far away, so I harvested the oldest pumpkin today. It weights 9.6 lbs, not nearly as exciting as the giants. I have 5 in total. This one survived several attacks by the squirrels and scabbed over to heal itself. It survived much better than the Atlantic Giants from prior years. They just started to rot as soon as the outer skin was broken.
