"grow your own seed", they said. ..... So I did :) . Measuring in at 530 pounds now. I am hoping the measurements and weight are accurate given the shape of this pumpkin (tall, pinwheel). Had to pick off some of the lobes of the blossom end last night as they were about to start cutting into the skin. Sprinkled a little phosphorous around last night and then lightly watered. Then sprayed with calcarb and some fungicide/insecticide as I seem to battling a really HARD battle with aphids this year. Nothing will kill them.
