Here is a guess the weight contest for all you squashers out there. Guess the weight of our big squash and win:

-Our complete 2009 seed collection included the green monster
-The complete set of the Vincent-McGill Squash seeds, including the 898* and the 995* and 1132*
-Choice of one of the following: 848 Mackenzie*, 1055 Pitura*, 895 Hester*, 756 Kennedy*, 552 Sherwood*.

Here is a diary link:
http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=122232

The squash is growing on the 800 Neily* seed and crossed with the 1132 Vincent-McGill*. It was pollinated on July 5th and has been protected with Reemay for the last 3 weeks.

The contest will be open until Friday Oct 23rd at 11:59 pm. The squash will be weighed at Cornerstone landscaping weigh off in Barrie, Ontario on the 24th, the last GPC weigh off in North America.

Good luck all!

Looks like Jos Ghaye is the contest winner at 1235 lbs. There was a second guess of the same weight, but the first one gets the prize.

Thanks Jos and all for playing.
