This is from Rmen post. I think this is the mother seed to the new record and it has grown another big one>


"790 Kg, 1741 lbs. His BP so far was 770 pounds. The Johanna Pumpkin (2183 Mendi x self), must be 19/20% heavy"

Thanks everyone!!! Was a nice easy fruit to grow. Was the 790 kg Johanna (2183 Mendi x self) crossed with my 1402lb (2095 Brandt x 2528 Geddes).

Willem, was amazing! Yes, Yes, Johanna is a great seed. 2 seeds have obtained the 1865 Wycus 2022 with 20% heavy and the 1994 Legrange 2022 17% heavy. Salvador brought me a seed from Johanna from South Africa, i am very happy!! thanks Wycus my friend. there are very few, very few. Wycus could only get a few. In SD the organizer of the contest still keeps the pumpkin seeds, that doesn't seem fair to me, I let Wycus know, that rule has to be changed in SD, that can't be allowed. Well I have a seed from Johanna, I hope to hold it until the next auction in Spain. Now your Willen and Barbie seeds, and Wycus's (johanna x 2356) and Pietz's, are incredible seeds, you have achieved an incredible line in SD. I am very happy with you.
