My 1985 is a nice plant, one of the nicer plants I have this year, but the fruit isn't doing anything special at this point.

Early stages of fruit growth. Lower and smaller leaves than the 2009. Slow secondaries caused me to pollinate later than I would have liked.

My 1985 is the best of my three plants. Very hardy and heat resistant. I have a DAP-36, 99" circumference fruit on it. I'm currently getting +-20# a day growth. This may not be a size to alert the media about, but it is the darling of my patch.

Nice plant but can't get it to keep a pumpkin. Have pollinated at least 10. Longest has gone 16 days then abort, abort, abort.

Most aggressive plant I've grown unfortunatly not very tolerant of the heat so my leaves are aging faster than I would like to see. Pumpkin is growing great! Growth the last 5 days has really been ramping up from 20-28 lbs a day. I hope it goes higher!!! 7/22 was day 21. Its going to be a white one. Nice round shape so far.

Most impressive looking plant in my patch. Wasn't the fastest growing plant though.
