806.6 Wursten 08 UOW (1378 Pitura x 1256 Wursten)
Taped 672 and weighed 806.6 = 20.0% heavy. 67 days old.
If I had known it would have gone that heavy, I would have organized a certified scale. The pumpkin was in perfect shape but the plant had long been lost. Most of it had been lost before I had a fruit set when a twister visited my patch. Flooding, high winds, cold and dark weather did the rest. The stump rotted away and slowly the entire plant disintegrated.
Because the pollinator only produced deformed pumpkins, I have kept no seeds. According to my stats this is the third biggest pumpkin ever grown outside in Holland till now. It would have ranked #6 in the all time top 10 had it been official.
In other news:
Biggest tomato: 1337 grams - 2.95 lbs - a new PB
Both the 1018 (which is dmg) and the 893 are growing - estimated 500 lb+ on what's left of the plants.
Corn should be around 15 ft. Two giant beets left to weigh.
