I have 2 green squashes for a weigh-off this weekend-both about the same measurements but one is a birdbath. Do birdbaths run heavy? Also do I take the measurements differently on a birdbath? I can only take one of them.

My son's orange birdbath in 2010 went 21% heavy. Very small cavity.

Bring them both if you can, we can weigh them officially, but one will need to be a EXH declaration prior to weighing.....I understand if you only have room for one, two or three. You are coming a long way to weigh JCAB. I think you will have the biggest no matter what you bring....but bring what you can........and may yourZ weigh Heavy.......
See you Saturday at the Old Colorado CIty Weigh OFF.....

I would advise purchase of inline scales??? If only one will fit in yer truck, or buy a bigger truck, so you can Haul both!!!! Guessin, Wiz, wants you to buy a bigger truck!!! LOL Peace, Wayne

Birdbaths can go both ways like any other pumpkins. I've seen them go 19% light and 19% heavy.

Wiz be careful of the inline scale as the rules clearly state the fruit is not to have been weighed any other place ! I may be wrong, just don't want to lead some of the flock astay

Calcubit, are you being serious? I know some growers who have scales at home and have already weighed their pumpkins before they get to a contest. Is pre-weighing a fruit at home an issue (against the rules) or are you just messing around with Wizzy?
