1662.5 DeBacco ’15 (F: 1676.5 Daletas x 1916 Barron) 19% over chart

This is a picture of the pumpkin just before I harvested the seeds. This pumpkin had a nice textured orange color to it. It was the rough color/texture that as growers, we want to correlate with percent heavy. I was fortunate to have this pumpkin be a very nice surprise for me at the scales at Topsfield. When your pumpkin is about 250 pounds more than you were expecting that is a good day;-) Also, I found out later that the pollinator also did well in final weight and percent heavy.
