Before the weigh off yesterday several growers visited my and Russ Pingrey's patches. I learned that I had been measuring the big wheel on my 1161 very conservatively. It is growing propped up against a mound of soil to keep if from falling over. I was just measuring to the top of the mound. Pete Glasier & Gary Miller measured it and came up with 411" OTT. My latest measurement was 10" less, so it was kind of like getting a bonus 100 pounds! This fruit, which is on my 1161 Rodonis is still growing a couple of inches a day...so now I have two bigg'uns to fantasize and obsess about. I'm going to be worthless for the next month.
