BG DAP 40 EST 108 lbs, FP DAP unknown EST 123 lbs. Now I need to hold on for 46 days to get them to a weigh off.
7 August 2025
BG DAP 35, Est 85 lbs. I'm stoked, never believed I had a shot at 100 lbs, if everything stays as steady as it is now I'll get there in 3 days. Garden FP DAP unknown, starting to turn color, EST 118 lbs.
2 August 2025
BG DAP 30 estimated 61 lbs. Fifteen days ago I did not think it was ever going to start growing, but the growth has been steady, very happy.
1 August 2025
Garden FP open pollination about 30 DAP still green. Haven't measured it yet will wait for the color to change. I believe it has potential.
1 August 2025
My way to early FP DAP 40 measuring 102 lbs. If I can get it to a weigh off this is a new PB and only a few pounds away from a state record.

My BG seems to be picking up steam. This is 2 days difference. Not as fun as AGs but this is my first year so I am very happy.
23 July 2025
BG DAP 15 & 20 slow but the can is getting smaller. Took screenshots of Pumpconn's BG at DAP 10 and 17 to compare and I'm bigger than his DAP 10 but smaller than his DAP 17. Of course that was a 470 lb BG. Give my BGs a score of 5 from 10 and the plants a 8 from 10. I think ok.
22 July 2025
My way to early FP DAP 20, 26 & 30 OTT 155.5 has slowed down a bit. Good news is it's still dark green, also I've had FPs this size and I could easily pick them up because they had a big cavity, I can't pick this one up, solid as a rock.
18 July 2025
BGs DAP 15, growth is slow, first time growing them so I'm guessing that is normal.
17 July 2025
My way to early FP DAP 25 CC 69" still growing and still dark green. Will do OTT DAP 30.
13 July 2025
2 BG plants, a dozen pollinations and I've made my decisions on which 2 survive. DAP 10 for both pollinated at 20:15 in the evening. They are not growing fast but they are my PB as of today.
12 July 2025
My way to early FP DAP 15 and 20 - 61.5 cc
5 July 2025
My way to early FP is making a case to not be culled. DAP 10 and DAP 13. I only let it go to see the potential the intent was to cull by DAP 10. What do I have 45-60 days of growth? Means mid August it's done and I have to keep it healthy another month till first weigh off. Geez.

I've never grown a FP in a GH before. Here is the difference between open garden and GH with a shade tarp
9 June 2025
BGs are doing ok. The plants are very healthy and growing as expected with this cold rainy weather. The next 2 weeks are predicted to be warmer with lots of sunshine. If all goes well will pollinate mid July. First time growing BGs so this will be fun.
9 June 2025
Very pleased with my FPs, planned the germination and setting out shooting for a mid July pollination which will give me plenty of time to get mature pumpkins before the weigh offs. First time growing them in a green house so I am excited.
7 May 2025
Watermelons, Bushel Gourds and Field Pumpkins are planted, in previous years 2 of these greenhouses were for my Atlantic Giants.
