And we do have a story for "1781." John and I had planned to grow 1625 Gantner this year. Well John broke the first one off and I did the second...oops. Luckily enough LL gave us a back up 1781.....but never knew the second 1625 was broken. Therefore she assumed the 1625 was still 1625.....hehe....but not so easy to laugh about.

Unfortunately during the photo session last night I spotted the tiniest pin hole I've ever seen in the blossom end. Upon further review I actually found that the blossom nub itself accepted a tiny blade of grass right up the middle. Therefore I can only assume this blossom nub has been "open" for a while causing the other tiny pin hole to develop as a rot spot. So not only did we find that hole last night, but I also let the cat out of the bag that her and I just found a tiny pin hole in a potential 2000# pumpkin.....on HER seed.
