Exponential Growth

I know it's been a long time since my last entry but I have the excuse of having been off on an island for the past three weeks. So a lot has happened in that time, namely I now have a growing pumpkin that's charging forward!

The competition is also heating up too, both Chris and mom are adding daily circumference measurements to my shared, online spreadsheet. It's fun to track and visualize the progress each of us are making, and important to remember that everyone is still really early on and anything can still happen.

Here's a photo of my pumpkin, the plant is taking over the backyard. The wine bottle scale reference is a little misleading, it's actually the airplane wine bottle size, I thought it would be funny to use that. Regardless, the pumpkin is adding about 2" or more a day in circumference.
