Since the values are quite scattered and don�t allow for precise conclusions (except the observation that the pretty heavy pumpkins already appear on 500�600 sqft patches and that there is a slight upwards trend for weight with increasing patch size), I have also plotted the average pumpkin weights per 100 sqft increment.
(increment 250 = 200�299, 350 = 300�399, 450 = 400�499, 550 = 500�599, 650 = 600�699, 750 = 700�799, 850 = 800�899, 950 = 900++)
We can see a clear trend, i.e., the notable increase goes into a plateau stage at ca. 500�600 sqft. (The reason why the 1385.5 Jutras is messing up the picture at 350 sqft is the 1166 Mohr, which is the only pumpkin in this sqft range for this seed, grown by a pretty successful grower (in my opinion), and therefore this one data point is not representative. With additional data points from the other 3 pumpkin seeds the average already looks much more representative.
