Here is Cole with his first pumpkin. The pumpkin ended up going heavy and weighed 912. I guess that makes it the 912 Steil 2011. I would love to say Cole worked really hard on this plant but that lasted until the end of July when we found out I was going to be gone and we couldn't get the pumpkin to the MN State Fair and we had just been hit by out third hail storm. After that he let the plant go but the pumpkin decided to keep growing some. After dad made him clean out the weed mess I was suprised to see that the pumpkin had kept growing. Moral of the story is we have a much more motivated young grower who is talking about trying multiple plants next year, we'll see! I am still proud of him for his efforts, as he is the one that takes care of my plants when I am gone for a week at a time.
