Seeds from my 695 Handy x self are ready. The final weight was 881 Lbs (est. 1031). I suspect that it quit growing in early/mid September. It was weighed on October 11th and placed 5th at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.
I'm still waiting on seeds from my 478.5 (1556 Werner x 695 Handy), which was sold to a farmers' market in Virginia. They're known to be reliable when it comes to returning seeds, so I should get some back soon if the pumpkin had any. This seed has a lot of potential. I really wish that I had better luck with my 1556 plant, 478.5 was nowhere near its full potential.
I've settled on my line-up for 2009.
Starters: 1354 Checkon, 1407.3 Wolf, 1408.5 Daletas, 478.5 Morgan (if I get seeds back)
Back ups: 1469 Checkon, 1445 Marsh (1407x695), 720 Rose, 1139 Sherwood
I aim to attend contests at the P.G.P.G.A. site in Altoona, PA, Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA, and Pumpinfest in Goffstown, NH
