I am really starting to get excited about the giant holland. It has added 10 inches in circumference since Sunday morning. I am know officially on the OTT chart for giant pumpkins with a measurement of 163.The chart starts at 160 being 99 pounds and 165 being 108 lbs. The holland is the size of an ottoman with a circumference of 73 inches, 46 inches top to bottom, and 44 inches side to side. If it ended today, I would break my personal best but be short of my goal of 150. I wish I had enough experience under my belt to try and figure out what it might max out at in late September. I guess I need to start keeping OTT measurements on a weekly basis so I can estimate how many pounds he is packing on per week. I am not sure if it is sad that I am excited like a kid, or a good thing that I am still in touch with my inner child. I guess it will depend on who you ask.
Plus, I am so glad that such a small giant makes my day. I am amazed at how many growers on this forum get bummed out growing a 1200 lb pumpkin. I hope I never get that way, no offense.
