2023 - Pumpkin competition

It's all done here. I checked the yellow stem on the pumpkin and it was going spongy instead of woody, so I brought the little chap home.

14.55 kg (32 pounds)
About 106 cm (42 inches) around the sides
About  109 cm (43 inches) around top and bottom at widest point

 That’s a very fine size. Well done. 
I’m still holding out hope that mine is still growing. But I’m being delusional. The parent plant is definitely giving up. And I’m only watering a couple of times a week as the humidity is so high but not very warm in the tunnel.

I held out a long time even after I thought it unlikely to be growing. But I was afraid it would rot with that spongy stalk so I had to give in.

I really want to grow a bigger one next year! I'm eagerly awaiting results from everyone.
