Means the estimated weight, before being weighed, was only expected to weight around 995, based on measurements, but when it hit the scales it weighed more than that.

Going heavy is seen as a good thing, and usually means the walls are extra thick.

Shazzy thanks for the seeds! My personal best so far is maybe 5Lbs.( Was from a seed that I just stuck in the yard after carving the halloween pumpkin and it came up the next year)
This year Iam gonna try for what ever I can get but if I can get 500#s Ill be happy,setting my goal kinda short and just gonna be sorta of a dry run for next year!!!!.
