Good news The 140.5 UOW was opened up at the PNWGPG awardss meeting on Sunday. What a pleasant surprise as this thing was very thick as you can see. There are plenty of seeds too. The 140.5 was grown off the 162 B McKinnon. As I said before it is an open pollination but the pollen that was in the area was either my 79 Barker which grew the Wash.State record 119# pumpkin or the 162 B.McKinnon so either way it will have some good gens. We measured the thickness and 5 1/2 inches at it thickest area and just under 5 inches at its thinest area. I was pretty bummed about my AG's this year but if I look at the cup half full I grew 4 field kins all over 100 lbs. The 79 Barker grew the 119 and a 106 and the 140.5 and 100.5 off the 162 B McKinnon. So I geuss this season was too bad over all. The 106 and 140.5 were weighed with my in line certified scale.
