705 DeBacco ’14 (F: 811 Gerhardt x M: 2009 Wallace) OTT = 313.5”
After the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers (SNGPG) directors surveyed the field of pumpkins at Frerich’s Farm Weigh-off, this was their selected Howard Dill Award winner. I was very happy and honored to receive this award as I know this is a sought after by many growers. The pumpkin had grown more since I last taped it and it was actually a little to the heavy side so that is always a nice plus to see a nice looking orange pumpkin that also goes heavy.
I added the 2009 Wallace as the pollinator to try and cross something from a little bit of a different genetic background. Hopefully this pumpkin will be enjoyed by many people between now and Halloween at various displays.
