For diehards, here are pictures from today. After working all day on various things, I didn't have the energy to weed these good before taking pictures.
Here is the 1505 Holland, which has the longest vine to this point. (Remember, I've had record lows and the coldest May on record.)
Next is the 720 Warren. This one had a double-vine for one node, then split in two. I pruned one. Based on last year's experience, that worries me a lot. Other than that, great leaves as always.
The 1211.5 Toftness is the biggest plant in the patch:
The 1467 Perham is looking good. I'll need to do a little main vine re-direction, but it's not bad.
Here's the world record 1725. It was the second to touch down. There is a little damage on some of the early leaves. That was from a 25 degree night, when the plant was covered only by a sheet.
Finally, the 1240 Bogie is the smallest plant so far, but that is a good indication that it will produce the largest pumpkin. It's heading in exactly the right direction.

Did your vegi's get through the frost okay? Your pumpkins are looking good!
We survived, but barely. They were saying 42 for our area, but we got down to 32. I did not cover............
I recently came across your post about , Gardening mats in India and I must say, it was super informative! Gardening mats are such a great way to make gardening more convenient and organized, especially in Indian climates. I’ve been using one for a few months now, and it’s made a world of difference in my garden. It helps in reducing weeds and keeps the soil moisture intact, which is especially important during the dry seasons. Plus, it’s easy to clean and reuse.
