I just want to talk a little about my 1916. In the beginning, what a beautiful plant and was my oldest and largest pumpkin. Fate took a bad turn and a small hole near the blossom around day 60; however it continued to grow and I could not give up. Last Thursday it was finally clear it had been decaying from the inside out. Unfortunately, my waiting cost be the seed harvest on this one. Now it is rotting in the middle of my backyard. Too late to try to move ... oops ... yes ... it smells AWFUL ... omg ... funny. I have been busy the last couple days pulling the vines and clearing the patch. Some of the sidevines are bigger than my arm. The main and stem are crazy huge. I will try to get a photograph. I would grow the 1916 again without a doubt. I had pulled the 1756 backup ... hmmmmm!!! :)
