This is my 180.5 kg 2012 pumpkin a fews days ago. Today I removed it from the patch, because as it was a funny wheel shape, and was leaning back. Last night it fell back on top of the main vine and snapped off. I was kind of expecting that to happen, due to the shape, as it was the only pumpkin that set on the main vine I went with that one.
The pumpkin was 35 days old today and EST 147 kg. I cut it up and weighed the bits they weighed 173.4 kg. So it was like it's mum about 19 % Heavy. I will grow this one again next year, or one of the seeds out of this pumpkin 180.5 ( 1081 Leonzi X 1124 Reid ) x 1789. I have a 10 day old pumpkin on a side vine so I will see how it goes. I wasn't really worried too much about this plant, I just wanted to see how it would go.
