1379.5 Presto made it out of the patch but not out of the driveway. We went to unhook trailer to hook it up to a bigger truck to haul to weigh-off and the trailer tipped and the 1379.5 Presto did a 360 degree roll and landed/split on the driveway.

Putting the harness on the 1379.5 Presto. My friend Keith let me grow this pumpkin at his house. After the the pumpkin tipped the trailer and split, Keith said he would never grow one again. He helped grow it as I had trouble bending due to getting hit broadside in my truck back in the Feb. 6th snow storm. My truck was totaled. I could not bend so Keith helped bury the vines. One week after the pumpkin rolled off the trailer and split, I drove past Keith's house and saw him in the garden, he was taking out fence posts. I drove up to the patch and asked what he is doing? He said expanding for next year. I said to him " I thought you weren't going to ever do this again". He said "No, next year it will be greenhoused" LOL
