Did the 1596 Wallace go heavy ? If so, what %. It looks like a bolder on the home page.

12 or 13% Heavy. Ron Wallace said that it stayed right under 30 pounds per day the whole season and stayed like that for most of the season.

Thank you

Sorry to hear about your 763. It was sure going to be a giant!

Thanks for the compliment. After reading a lot of other diaries it seems to be the norm, (having one go down for one reason or another.)Best of luck with yours !

The 1596 was a rock. No question about it. Talk about crackled!

Maybe I am wrong on this assumption, but it seems like a lot of the pumpkins that get the heavy cantaloping, weigh heavy for some reason.
