1421.5 Stelts ’09 (1385 Jutras seed)
Day: 18
OTT: 165.5â€
Est. weight: 106 lb.
Pollination Date: July 2nd, 2010
Number of lobes: 4
For such a young pumpkin to be sucking in the blossom end has me a little nervous. I did not expect this trait from this seed but it seems to be common from a few of the other 1421.5 Stelts pumpkins I have seen in my area.
I did cull a bigger pumpkin that was down the vine but because of its poor shape I decided to remove it at about day 16 with an estimated weight of about 80 lb. The person I gave the cull to did some practice carving with it and said I made the right decision because the area I was concerned with was very thin. Hope this pumpkin does not have any thin spots.
