Way to go Pappy, now what I want to know is how many days from pollination you are. and how big estimated was the gain since you last measuring (7 days ago????) I hope I can get growth like that this year.

Mark,
You sure about that, I have never seen a fruit go from 30 to 60 pounds and stay in one piece? If so, that is sweet, maybe I can do that.........LOL.

Pappy,
Beautiful looking fruit, seems to be problem free and all.

Chuck, I culled a 200#er from the 625 yesterday in favor of a faster grower. The pic is in my diary.

Pappy Fatback is turning into a fine looking pumpkin...but it brings tears to my eyes to hear someone is culling 200# pumpkins...I would love one that big!!!

Pappy - Let us know what Fatback 'officially' weighed in at.
Judging from the table 304 OTT is 568 lbs.
Your other culls were really close so it would be interesting to see.

Congratulations on Fatback! Hope your other 2 get just as big or even larger. Maybe a little more Potassium?
Happy Friday All. - Ceis
