It got too hot today , made a mark on the pumpkin where the shade was touching it instead of shading it. I also watered it . Low to mid 90’s all week

Charlie put on some nice numbers today. I watered him last night and I show an estimated weight of 468 tonight. I gave it two cups of wood ash, one at the base and one down the main vine. I gave it a table spoon of epsom salt in a gallon of warm water on the leaves. It got two table spoons of miracle grow liquid rose fertilizer mixed with two gallons of warm water , one at the base and one spread over the entire vine. All was watered in with a generous amount of water. If I can keep it growing for a few more days it should pass the 500 pound mark and anything after that is beyond my expectations.

What are the marks on top of Charlie? Will they hurt its growth? One gorgeous pumpkin!

It’s huge! You need to submit some pics to the local news outlets, I’m sure they’d put something like that on the air.

It got too hot one day I think , the shade was touching it instead of cooling it. They could , time will tell
