Once again, I love this thread!

What is the best thing to use against squash bugs? I found one and a couple of sets of eggs yesterday…

Early on I smash them if I start to see too many I use liquid seven

I use powder 7 and either one kills them quick!

It was a little slower today, we are hitting the hottest weather of the summer this week , low 90’s. I watered it for the first time tonight, may water it a little tomorrow and add some liquid fertilizer

Yes, I really only have one vine, I have two small vines that i planted for emergency pollination but they did not bloom in time so I self pollinated this. So one vine one pumpkin.

I think you have a typo re the circumference? It went from 101" to 203"!!

Impressive anyways, especially considering it’s just a month old. How much longer can it grow, and how big do you think it’ll get?

BTW, did it eat its hat??

Yes, lol, 103. Edited and correct now. I don’t know how big it will get. I think I should be able to get a 500 pounder, any thing can happen though. Last time it just stopped growing at the end of July
