2015 Season Review
Well, there was some snow that covered up the patch, but hopefully the winter rye is established enough to survive.
In addition to my pumpkin season it was nice to see that my “Anthesis” spray has shown some very promising results and that the theories I researched may have some grower supported data.
Overall, I am very happy with how my season turned out and after all of the work here is the 2015 season summary…
Winter Project
132.2 DeBacco ’15 (C) “Dinosaur Egg” (F: 179.4 DeBacco ’14 “Marshmallow” x M: 1916 Barron ’14)
-This was weighed at a certified (C) Team-Pumpkin weigh-in.
Official Entries
1662.5 DeBacco ’15 (F: 1676.5 Daletas x 1916 Barron) 19% over chart
-This was a great surprise on the scale!
1662.0 DeBacco ’15 (F: 1916 Barron x 1676.5 Daletas) 13% over chart
-This was the last pumpkin I weighed and allowed me to qualify for the 4,500 pound club!
1409 DeBacco ’15 (F: 1719.5 Daletas x 1744 Fulk) 5% under chart
-I liked the color of this pumpkin, but wish it went a little heavier
1030.5 DeBacco ’15 (F: 811 Gerhardt x M: 1719.5 Daletas)- Howard Dill Award Winner!
-One of the best looking pumpkins that I have grown!
Lost late in the season
1678est DeBacco ’15 (F: 1744 Fulk x 1719.5 Daletas)
-It would have been nice to see the actual weight but an odd soft spot that I noticed 4 days before the weigh-off did not make this possible.
