A quick pictorial review of my season, first up is the 1826 wolf. Now the 629 weighed at the Ohio State fair. Picked early due to spot near stem I fighting.

Next up is the 1794 Cotterman. Now the 1553 unofficial, weighed on my scale pollinated with the 2095 Brandt. It stopped growing at day 70 with no signs of a reason why. Taped 405" about 90+ lbs over the new chart.

My little buddy digging for seeds, it was carved by Gus Smithisler at the country living fair so there is some surface rot starting from that, but the inside was all good.

My operation pumpkin entry for those that may have noticed a damaged entry. This is the 2095 Brandt, now the 1533 dmg. Self pollinated, 398" 10%heavy to the new chart. We picked it the night before weigh off and everything looked great. When it was picked up to sit on the scale it started to leak due to soft spot on the bottom. Still unsure what really happened but a few seeds were recovered from the non rotten areas.

Last of the giants the 1561 Reeb, now the 922.5 weighed at Oakland Nursery, unfortunately I pollinated it with the 1794 Cotterman for those seeking orange I can not gaurentee the color from this one due to my error in pollinator choice Haha. Went a couple pounds over chart so happy with that. This one's name is spirit.
