could anyone who has information on these pumpkins' progeny or has grown either of these pumpkins last year or weighed one already this year please let me know what the final weights were compared to the chart. i am looking to decide ultimately which of my pumpkins to choose if they both end up close to the same ott. thanks, jeff shenoha

The 1631 McKie went almost 21% heavy, which is amazing for a pumpkin of that size.

It doesn't really matter if your pumpkins go heavy or light. They will both weigh 999lbs.. at least you will beat your pb by 2 lbs

I wish I had a spare to bring Dan. I am down to one... I might take a trip up and stay the weekend. Shazzy, I think both those pumpkins will be over 1000lbs. I would guess the 1041 to be heavier. Make sure you load up with all your couch cushions and your soiled mattress. It is a bumpy road to Didier's

It looks like there's a little trash talk going on in Illinois. Its good to have a rivalry. Good luck both of you and I will see you there. Al
