The cross is 827Holland92 x 898Knauss01.   Monday, July 21 View Page The next keeper in my patch. The plant is the 1002Garrell07 (=1068Wallace x sib) crossed with the 1306Jutras07 (1450Wallace x 1068Wallace).

It's a little bit more than 6.5 inches long.   Wednesday, August 20 View Page The "Beauty" in my patch this year, my 846.5Calai99 pumpkin. Last measurement on August 12th: OTT = 272   Tuesday, September 9 View Page 3-4 weeks ago I lost most of the 827 Holland plant because "white foam" came out of the main vine and near the stem. Does anyone know the reason of this ugly white stuff? The pumpkin nearly stopped growing at 400lbs. I think harvest of this pumkpkin (great cross: 827x801.5Stelts) will be next week. The second pumpkin on the first sidevine is still growing a little bit (827x898Knauss).   Tuesday, September 9 View Page My 846.5Calai fruit, a beautiful pumpkin with a great color , but.......see next picture....   Tuesday, September 9 View Page ...... but I lost it three days ago because of a split on the top.
