Theo, or somebody else, can you find out if Poels 237.5 kg pumpkin from Asten is the same pumpkin as his 241.5 kg in Duisburg, or is it a second pumpkin?
By the looks of it, the top 10 will all be above 250 kg after this year.

Brad,
Harry Poels had many 200+ pumpkins, he is growing many of them in big numbers. I did not ask details.
You ask him!
But the two you mention are surely different pumpkins.

The biggest Frisian pumpkin ever on Ameland 2005 weighed 226,5kg, but not yet official.
15,5 kg more than the German estinated weight table.
Ameland's Number 2 may be 200+kg if 2,5% extra above estimated weight table!?

By the way, Pe Wever from Obdam has 200+ Kg as well.
You want to contact him too?

Thanks Iwan, will make the change. I'm afraid neither will be in the top 10 at the end of the year. Are you going to a weighoff?
