I want to publically congratulate Russ for entering the 1/2 ton pumpkin club. There were many phone calls and patch visits made during the growing season, but I think it was all worth it.

Russ’s beautiful orange 1037.5lb pumpkin was grown from my own 1353 DeBacco ’08 (F: 1385 Jutras x 775 Dill). My 1064.5 pound pumpkin was grown off the 1385 Jutras so you can see how the 775 Dill sure added some orange color, but the shape and ribbing from the 1385 Jutras stayed true to form. It is nice when a genetic cross works out as planned.
