This is my first year and I don't think they will make it to any weigh offs but this pumpkin is awsome. It is still growing and is at 346.5 OTT.Had a small end split yesterday about 3/4 by 1/4 wide and patched it.I don,t know how deep it was so time will tell,but very happy with first year at this and it will be very very hard to do any better.Hope it continues to grow and hang on. This would of not been possible without all of your help.THANK YOU !!! I'll keep you informed.

Yes,
I thank everyone also. This has been a summer to remember! I have had so much fun with this project. My Husband calls me a pumpkin head; he is proud of my gardening skills and shows all his friends my pumpkin pictures. He sometimes thinks I am nuts, but deep inside it is just as exciting to him as it is to me.
THANNNNK YOOOU!!!!!
