Piglet's circumference from the stem is 29 inches or 75cm, I've placed him on an upturned metal gravel tray and fed & watered his mummy. Piglet's little brother is sadly no more, he's gone mushy and will more than likely drop off. Murphy's law I find this out after I've given Peg her haircut.
I just searched for the circumference of a basketball and it was also about 29 inches Big Grin
I remembered to take my measuring tape: 37 inches (with a photo to show roughly how I measured it...you made it sound easy but I made a real comedy routine out of it).

Wow!!!
That's definitely put Peg's nose out of joint, I've told her that she must try harder. Well done DJ.
After doing some measurement conversions. As inches are just wrong  Wink  . You are growing a monster DJ. Nicely done  Cool .
I measured firefly again and she’s grown 4.5cm in 2 days. But still small in comparison. 

It’s going to be very interesting to find out the weight of our pumpkins when they’ve finished growing.
Folks, are you limiting your plants to 1 fruit?

Not intentionally,  Piglet had a brother who sadly died.  If another fruit happens I will leave it on.

Yeah. Once you’re 100% it’s set.

Inches wrong!? Never. I can do meters ok but only because theyre almost yards, but I have to figure and convert cm back to inches.

Weighing? If these pumpkin get to the size we've been threatened with, weighing might be a tad awkward  Cry

PS are you watering yours every day?
