Thanks all

It is not a world record but for me it does feel like it. It was lots of fun growing the Lyons 901. Thanks all that did send me some seeds and all the tips. I can not get all the soil ingredients that most other growers can laid there hands on but still think I can grow a 500kg + pumpkin. This was the first time SA did see a large pumpkin on TV. A TV team Kwela was there with the removing of the pumpkin and again with the weigh off. Lots of fun driving to the weigh off 1400km away. Hope there will be more growers next year in SA.
Thanks again for all the help and seeds.
Good luck for all growing AG in the northern hemisphere with your growing season on hand.
