That would make a pumpkin of about 101 lbs when plump which equals 98 cents - exactly. Lucky for all the other guesses I'm going to have to recuse myself because I have a degree in pumpkin sizing. Please carry on. This is amusing for all us pumpkin professionals. Using the highly complex formula of Circumference = 2 x pi x the radius, 2 x 3.14 x 10.7" ...results in a circumference around 67" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Y has there never been a hollyweird horror flick with the plot of a giant pumpkin just rolling around on Halloween and squashing trick or treaters? Afterall , we had the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes " and it is not even associated with a scary holiday. It is only logical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Seeker. You are it Just need you addy to send some seeds after they cure a bit. About 2-3 weeks, I reckon. Saving seeds from hybrid veggies usually results in heterogenous offspring, so select wisely and thin multiple plants next summer- selecting(and culling) plants for vigor and size. After a few growing seasons,traits should stabilize in the offspring as long as you are consistent in your selection and culling criteria. Figure on 3,closer to 4 month of growth to mature. Direct sow. No containers. Edited November 1 by Stillweaver hillbelli 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
