Heck of a pumpkin Wex! Over 100lbs heavy!
984 Wexler 09' ( 641 Bosworth x 1436 Nesbitt)

Jamies 984 pumpkin sat off the vine since Aug 8th and still went over 100 lbs heavy,,, sheshhh!! That 641 Bosworth is ALL 1068 Wallace true and true! the 641 is a (1068 Wallace x 1402 Bosworth) which the 1402 is a (1068 x self).

I'm really not trying to toot my own horn here..
*looking around to see if anyone is laughing*
But I really think that 641 is going to be one of the best seeds I have for other growers to grow that will go heavy like the 1402 did and also the 1068 Wallace's did., Its just a feeling I had when I asked Jamie to grow it last year.

I know you can say what could have, or what could have been, but I'm saying it anyway,,lol,,, what would that pumpkin have weighed at the end if he didnt lose the vine at its peek growing cycle had it not sat there with nothing hooked to it starting on Aug 8th?,,,
I swear I'm not trying to brag about this (OK MAYBE A LITTLE i AM,,LOL) because I really would be saying this if it was someone else's seed just the same, and Even though it didnt break a 1000lbs which I know with out a doubt in my mind it would have, I'm just dang proud of it and that Jamie grew it!
Now I really ave something to look forward to growing next year. Thanks Wex!

And one other thing, How about that cross Alan?,,lol,, tell me that isn't Ironic , huh?,,,lol (inside joke there)

Same color as the 1402 Glenn, and I miss calculated the weight, sorry, it was 58 lbs heavy. I get excited over the little things when growing these giants, I guess this is what makes it so much fun growing them,,lol

Thanks Brooks, I am honored that you sent me that seed, I had a feeling about it too. I was completely surprised that it weighed 984 after sitting so long. Yeah, what might have been.....probably 1,200+

The 1436 was going big (and orange) as well and was slightly ahead of the 641 at day 30 but I lost it to SVB's.

I hope I made a good cross?!
