Beet (stellern)

Cheyenne, Wyoming



I have a pair of 1065 McKie 2006 seeds, and an 1173 Macari 2004 seed for the person who guesses closest to the correct weight of my pumpkin. Please post your guess here. Don't e-mail me your guess. If two people guess the same weight, or are the same distance away, the person who posted their guess first will be the winner. I will post the results Friday night.

Statistics:
Seed - 1502 Wallace

Cross - X self

Age - 77 days at weigh day

Measurements - 127 - 88 - 81 or about 550 pounds est.

Patch History - sadly, my pumpkins often weigh light. Two years ago it went 17% under the estimate. The lowest guess in the entire contest was the winner.

Weigh day - Friday, Sept. 26th late afternoon.

Photos - in my diary under Beet.

Our County record is 575 pounds. 576 pounds is the goal.

Good luck.
