Hello,
I am after an 845 Bobier, to plant as my No 1 seed for late October. Already have some decent seeds from BP.com and other generous growers(Brett Hester, Ned Sandercock, Eric Gerry, Bill Van Iderstine, Scott Goodpasture)I am very serious about breaking the Australian record which has just been upped to 660 pounds, and have some seeds to trade. I will be growing 4 plants.
Thanks

Yo Ben,
I got one...its in the ground at the moment. By October it should have finished growing my UK record so I'll bundle it into a large box and ship it over. It will be about 50' long and 30' wide and will save you the trouble of growing it..oh yeah...send it back for next year please...lol

Alun,

My 845 croaked so maybe I can take you up on that offer. When you ship it, make sure there is a 1300 lb pumpkin attached to it.

Yo Brent,
Yeah man..I'll leave the 1300 on..but I'll cut off the bigger one...just to save on shipping costs...in fact I'll leave it on and make a boat out of it and row across the pond...towing the other behind...might take a couple of weeks. It may even put weight on with all that kelp in the Atlantic ocean.

Now have an 845. Can't wait to plant it in October. Thanks David Garrell for helping me out when I had not much to trade. Ben

Yo Ben,
congrats on getting the 845..only problem will be only having one arm and one leg left to hobble around the patch with. You can always get some false ones I suppose....lol
