wwilliamson is my Son. That pumpkin was growing really fast. It got up to the 280" ott. in about 20 days then it just stop growing. Come to find out he lost the stump and About 5 ft. of the main vine. It was on the 1000 lb. pace. And a very nice color and shape. I wish we had a couple more of those seeds.

I've been informed that wwilliamson's 1028 Gienger is rotting from the bottom. He's going to try and get some seeds. I believe it was pollinated with the 1339.5 Vincent/McGill.It is a great looking pumpkin. Est. weight 502 lbs.

Had one that looked like it should have been a really nice orange color.

One good rain on August 2nd, she grew a bit too much in one night and she had a Blossom end split.

Sad too, because I only have about 120 ft to work with and it was at the end of a topped main.

Need more garden space. Must sell house. Buy more land. Plant Pumpkins.

Frank, send an email to minok2014@yahoo.com. I'll send you a pic of my 1028 Gienger that I grew this year.

It wasn't real big, but it sure was orange.
