absolutely amazing accomplishment for sure.was it done growing or did it have more to give? sounds like a pumpkin with much much more to offer?
in any event great job, just great. my hats off to the both of you.

Hey we had a very trying season and things here for the fall look really really bleak.....Just 2 much rain and wind combinations has caused us great harm in the patch..the plants just don;t have the health needed to put on the weight....
That said let's just stick tot eh run day had by all today..Great Job by Donnie and the State fair putting it all together..great job by all who were able to bring afruit to the scales.
this one taped at 388 OTT at the fair we had it at 385 OTT in the patch. either way your looking at something around 100 or a bit more heavy.... Pretty pumpkin to boot alos and orange...Yea hard to be believe we had a pumpkin that wasn't white!!LOL!!
Anyways 65 days old at the time of the harvest....My guess is she had some left int eh tank...but we will never know..it's our new PB of a healthy fruit...Gottta like that
DAN
PS...Seriously I have to say if it had not been for Marc to come join the circus of growing these things I would have prolly tosssed in the hat years ago....it's days like this that makes it all worth while...Marc is a great team mate and I stress anyone struggling to keep at this hobby seriously think about getting some help....it saved the hobby for me...Thanks Marc..your the best!!!
