This is the 1245 Berard. I harvested it yesterday. For some reason the pumpkin stopped growing in mid to late July. After it stopped growing I did not put the time into it and the patch filled up with pigweed and lambsquarters. Some of the weeds are well over 6' tall. (Sorry no patch picture, it is too embarassing.) The pumpkin did split in the blossom end sometime in July but it never penetrated into the cavity. So this is a sound fruit. It's taping in the 550 pound range. It thumps like a rock. I am guessing it probably weighs in the 600-700 range. Thanks for the seed Al. I hope someone will grow a monster on the 1245 this year, unfortunately it won't be me.
