Last year, the pumpkin I grew off this plant impressed me with its consistent full season growth so I decided the plant it again. This year I am impressed with the speed of its growth. So, if I am lucky enough to get fast and consistent growth all year, I will be very impressed;-) The shape is unlike last year, for whatever reason this pumpkin has a very long shape. I am not saying this is a bad thing, it just goes to show some of the potential variability seed to seed from the same pumpkin.
