Here is a picture of me on top of the pumpkin. I weigh in at about 175-180 lbs. I was really surprised at how solid the fruit was after I cut it loose--I even stood on it at one point. I dug under the front and my buddy and I were able to tip it onto the scales, but the two of us were completely unable to tip it over onto it's side--even on a flat surface. The bottom (shich I was worried about) was solid as ever and completely flat. I am interested to see how thick the walls are on this fruit, and am generally pretty impressed by the height and approximate weight. Sure wish I could have weighed this thing officially, but I just could not figure out how I'd move it--save that task for next year. Of course if I can't move it I will rent or buy one of those tripods with the spring scale (the kind they use to weigh bears).
So here it is the 800 Dekleva UOW!
No for the task of preparing for next year. I have about a month of evenings and weekends to dig and prepare the soil as well as hand cart wheelbarrows full of compost, and manure.
