It got down to 30°F this morning. Started the sprinklers at 4 AM when it was still 35°F. It's back up to 32°F and sprinklers are still running.

A nearby pumpkin with a bit of an odd shape.

This is now this.

A rough measurement shows the mystery pumpkin as the biggest pumpkin in the patch. It wasn't visibly the biggest 4 days ago.

It is at least 20" long, about 19" wide and about 16" tall. I would guess that it is already over 100 lbs.

There is another about ten feet back up the vine that is smaller and growing quickly. A couple of days ago it wasn't big enough to be noticed. Today it is.

Mystery #1

It is approximately 26" long, 24" wide and 19" tall.

26°F this morning. It just made it up to 30°F. The sprinklers will be left on until the ice melts.
