The circumference is about 72 inches. 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"

The pumpkin weighs 34lbs. No more no less. 

A 21"+ pumpkin weighs at least twice that.

101 pounds was 12.2 pounds over the weight of 88.8 lbs.

You are welcome, you have mail...

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.

Mr Slim abdicated.

 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.

88 lbs is a healthy sized pumpkin! Bigger than anything I've ever grown

It's a shame they aren't fit to eat when they get that big.
