with all my pollinations being late, I was planning on skipping the Puyallup Fair. However, since the 1223 Radach has pretty much stopped growing. I decided to take it tomorrow. This is the smallest pumpkin I have taken to a weigh off since 2012. It is at 100.25" circumference 218" OTT for an estimated weight of 235 pounds. I stuck a bathroom scale under each end and it showed a little bit over 250 pounds so I am thinking it will go heavy. This is not a very big pumpkin at all but with the fair being earlier this year and with the super cool June and early July that we had I could have an outside shot at the top ten and some prize money. Last year a 250 pound pumpkin would have placed 9th at the fair.
