Big huge diary shout-out to my favorite twins in the pumpkin world, Troy and Tim Neptune! (and their dad, hi Bill!). This pumpkin was grown off the 1725 Harp seed and Bill reports that as of Sept 1st, it surpased the 1400 lb mark (which put it 150 lbs ahead of their 1503 from last year at that time). It developed a foaming stump and had been growing sans-stump since July 18th (Blaine's birthday!). Unfortunately heavy rains led to this pumpkin developing a blossom end split only 2 weeks before Barnesville weighoff. Booo. It was their biggest in the patch. It was polinated with the 1662 Stelts (great cross guys!). IN OTHER NEWS: THE NEPTUNES NOW OWN THE STATE WATERMELLON RECORD @ 209.4 LBS!! WOWOOWOWAA!!! Congrats!
