Can anyone estimate the weight of my pumpkin with only a SS of 94", because that's all the information that is going to be available. Let me explain. I have been growing pumpkins for about thirty years now, and I had a new experience this afternoon. After taking the side to side, I was going to take the end to end. The 1149 Reid is growing back on the stem somewhat, so the stem is partially recessed under the pumpkin. I saw where something had dug some sand out from under the pumpkin and I was brushing it back when all of a sudden, POW! A copperhead snake hiding near the pumpkin struck at my hand. I jerked my hand back and got a stick and flashlight, but could not find the snake. There is a tunnel going under the pumpkin, and I think he is living under there. When you have that close of a call with a copperhead, you ain't right the rest of the night.
