							| DAP 20.  Nylon line of this type works great as a permanent measuring tape.  (Pinch the line & it will hold the mark for the entire season!!!) 
 Right at two feet circ. -- which is small.  The markings were increasing until last night which was especially cold--temps dipped below 40.  I assume thats why the gain was down a bit on both.
 
 DAP 25-30 should give the max gains normally but if nature refrigerates the pumpkin... this may prevent and/or delay the normal development.  I believe near 60 degrees overnight would be better.  Upper 30's does cut growth in half.
