Time for an update lol.

The pumpkin on my 1339 Adams plant ended up being an unattractive shape IMO(I know, it's the personality that matters). It was wide, flattened, and had a rather large dip in the middle. It was a decent orange color. I quit measuring it early on. I didn't get final measurements, but I'd guess it ended up at around 900 lbs....just eyeballing it. Due to it's poor shape, not likely being a personal best, and the fact that I'd need to bother the neighboring farmer to help load it(which he always seems happy to do), I decided not to get it weighed.

I should add that I let a later set grow on the same plant, and it had quite a nice shape to it.
