This pumpkin tapes out somewhere around 800 pounds now. On the 25th, I culled a pumpkin from this plant that measured about 640 pounds. Since I could not remove it whole from the patch without damaging the vine, I resorted to cutting it up for removal. This pumpkin had relatively thin walls, and I'm afraid it will weigh in less than the tape indicates. Also, I observed much internal cracking, particularly on the bottom where the pumpkin rests. The pumpkin that goes to the weigh off will require much care in handling and transport.
