Hi there, This little baby is "Steinfriend" (2131.9 Wuersching x 636 uow Wagler), shown on day of pollination, 4 DAP and 11 DAP. What made me give that particular Jim Steinman related name to that pumpkin? There are at least three good reasons: 1) The intention...I want this fruit to grow like a "Bat out of Hell"; 2) The start into its young life...it was the first baby on the main vine ("You can´t pollinate forever, and there´s nothing wrong with getting a good head start..."), and shortly thereafter it had to struggle with awfully muddy rainy weather ("You´ve been through a lot of rain in the dirt, and I know you´ve got the splashes to prove it..."); 3) Honestly, who wouldn´t like to have a dear Steinfriend nearby, one you can visit every day and ask "How are you doing?"
