Picture of my 2096 which was my main pollinator plant this year. Either I didn't pollinate it properly or maybe it got too hot first few days after pollination when my shade cover blew off because i went out of town on business after i pollinated. The back end of the pumpkin never really filled in. But holly crap, today I was able to borrow a scale and I could not believe how heavy this Heifer is, 23% heavy!!!. Heaviest i grew last year was a 19% heavy Squash.

I am super excited about this result I am hoping my 1427 and 1411 can benefit from the super heavy 2096 pollinator and big shoulders. 2016, I will only be growing in my lower patch where everything is fully automated. In my lower patch their are 7 growing spots, each spot is at least 35 feet by 35. I will be growing Three 1427 and one 1411 and one 1305 and two others which are undecided until i get the seeds.
