I have included a beer bottle in the picture for reference to size, measurements will be taken on Tuesday August 19th when I have some string and a tape measure.
Measurements are done in two ways, first is the circumference around the widest part of the pumpkin parallel to the ground, and the second is the over the top OTT method.

| Pumpkin plant #2, this one is the most orange, but slightly strange shape. Measurements: c =58" Estimated Weight: 62lbs |
 |
| The smallest of the three, on the largest plant #1 ... the best shape, will surely be the largest of the three pumpkins. Measurements: c = 54" Estimated Weight: 51lbs |
 |
| Pumpkin plant #3, the first pumpkin, and currently the largest. Measurements: c = 61" Estimated Weight: 70lbs |

Lovely! My two have stopped growing. Trombo update coming soon.
Wow, huge ones! Although we don't know for sure since your beer bottle could be one of those mini beers from a bar fridge...
Ahhh soo you need a FB to compare against??
Yes please, preferably one with a cape.
My thoughts Ed Zachary! I was going to comment that the approved scientific approach to measuring the girth of squash is to place an appropriately sized (and well dressed) polar bear beside said squash. I recommend a bear with some flashy clothes and big personality (e.g Howard Wolowitz style)
On my next update I will attempt to include said girthy FB next to said rotund pumpkins!
Most recent estimated weight is ~ 80lbs each for all three.
Was de Joey shitting on pumpkins when you weighed them? Dat would add lots pounds.
