After two of these backyard weighs this season, I hope to never have to do this again. It's much better weighing a sound pumpkin at a weigh-off than these soft ones in the backyard. There's few people around and it's quiet. It feels like a pumpkin funeral.

No weigh-offs this year. Two identical soft bottoms. I think I know the reason and will make one or two changes next year. This fruit didn't grow an inch in 16 days, so even at the late growth pounds it should have been pushing into 1600. I would have expected the 1463 to get well into the 1700's, but there's no guarantees. I'm left with nothing official this year, but did grow two personal bests in 30 and 40 days less time, so that's one positive. I just need to keep them together.


Final Numbers: 1676 Daletas x 1873 Steil, 408", 1503 pounds + 5%
