It's interesting to find and read that old letter from Dan Westfall, I realize now too, that his cultural description of how he grows his bushel gourds is how I do it until this day. I bet that letter is why I grow them the way I do. Steve Conolly has certainly taken BG's to a different level since those early days.
I grew those 177 seeds back in 2013 and I remember getting one to 187 with no special care. I brought it to Durham and I was shocked at how heavy it was. I told someone (I think it was Bart Toftness) at the weigh off it would be really easy to come up with an OTT chart for bg's . I said just take a rock and get it's OTT measurements and then weigh the rock. A bushel gourd would match it. LOL. Yes that is a bit of an exaggeration but there is some truth in there.
