Home patch has only 1 Field Pumpkin 140 Est - Landry 25 FP. This was a volunteer plant sprung from the rats compost pile.
Very early FP at 4' on the Main Vine and treated with Florel on Day 1 at 24 Hours old. Long barrel shape.

Keys for FP's have always been finding the anti-senesce elixir that is very elusive. Delayed maturation is needed.

Rodents Rave FP x Self > Day 12 = 40" + 29 + 24 = 93 Ott. The CC is slower with Florel growth than last years fruit. 140 Fred "A" last year was 40" on D10.

Amazing that FP's in my care continue to outpace AGP up to about Day 15 then they shut down quickly...
