The pumpkin God's have reared their ugly heads in my patch this year, and at the same time given me some hope. Here is the balance.

Three AG's have gone down to rot and stem splits, two squash plants would not set for me, so the bees did it, and I am measuring a new PB on my own 523 from last year.

560 olsen 06 EST (845 Bobier x self)
373 olsen 06 EST (670 Daigle x 523 olsen 05 EST)
329 olsen 06 EST (1233.5 Reiss x 523 olsen 05 EST)
848 MacKenzie * estimated at 367 lbs (open pollinated)
748 Koch * estimated at 327 lbs (open pollinated)
523 olsen 05 EST estimated over 800 lbs and still growing

Here is a final picture of the 845 with stem split.
