These are yet unofficial results but we are now close to the 1000 lbs magic line, that is for sure. The winner was grown in a pretty small polytunnel of a bit more than 230 square feet (if I calculate about right) by a rookie but a truly dedicated grower. Good sizes also from the locally grown seeds. TV and other media present, should be in national main news today. Thanks to all you guys for your support. You have donated lots of good seeds to this country up north and helped to raise our standard.

Sorry 925,5 was the winner's weight, my bad.
Nevertheless, great results and progress here. Results will be uploaded to BP GPC pages as soon I get all the conversion done. As you may know some people use this crazy thing called the Metric System.....
