This is the second place pumpkin grown by Bob Ellis. Bob is a second year grower and really hit it out of the park with this pumpkin. It weighed 1126 pounds! He said it was taping in the low 900's. So it went very heavy.
I am a proud father, as it was my 1063 seed that it was grown from. Not too much orange in it, but how can you complain when it goes that heavy? The heavy must be from the 1426 LaRiviere as the pollinator. The mother on the 1063 was the 1299 Wolf, a dark orange beauty. I have a bag full of seed, so I will likely give it a shot again next year. (I lost my 1063 in July to Yellow vine disease.) I am excited to see what Bob is going to bring to the Bethlehem Fair on Thursday.
