Godfather Alan reports that Sir Galahad is developing richer color every day, which means he is getting to the end of his growth. So far, there has only been a bit of powdery mildew in Camelot, but after reading Stuart Shim’s blog, (http://www.pumpkinmania.blogspot.com>), Godfather Alan has started to spray Serenade, an all-organic and safe fungicide, to prevent any further infestation. Godfather Alan "guess-timates" Sir Galahad’s weight at about 300 lbs.  In an attempt to see if Sir Galahad is still getting bigger, Godfather Alan has drawn a line on Sir Galahad’s pallet to measure any future expansion.  

We’re all looking forward to the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off on October 10th. Author and radio personality Bob Tanem will be our official judge once again. There will be prizes for every pumpkin entry that comes in heavier than our own Sir Galahad. It’s a great show for the whole family!
