Pappy, I hope you the best, although I can't drink beer, I have a coke in my hand, and THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!!!!!!! Way to go!!!! I am guessing 630, but am hoping 100lbs. more than that!!

Hope we make your time here at BP.com as enjoyable as you and Fatback have made our times here enjoyable!!!!! Congratulations Sir, and my hats of to you!!! Steve

my guess is 675 lbs. Remember Tom, the 1006 was from the 697, same X as the 455 and it looks similar, so it will probably be heavy by a similar percentage.

Sorry folks no winner today. Fatback weighed way light at 537# I'm happy though!! Jeff's weighed 21 lbs heavy at 378#. These two pumpkins look very different from each other. Jeff's has some massive ribs which I wish Fatback had. Oh well the vines are coming out this weekend and I'm going to try again. If anybody wants seeds let me know.

Through it all, record or not, you 2 guys have been inspirations for rookies and verterans alike and I would like to say thank you for the fun, the laughs, the sweat and the drama you all have provided for all of us here. This is what makes this such a great community and your accomplishments only spur the rest of us on to work a little harder to grow that big one. Congratulations to the Georgia boys, you guys are the best.
Please don't disappear now as we all need to draw on your knowledge and wit as our time to sweat draws near.

Great run Pappy! I say, tear it out, till it up, plant another!! It's worth a shot... Hot sun, good for green not so good for lbs, set fruit end of August/early Sept, borrow a frost blankie from a yankee once or twice in Oct, and see what happens! There's lots more beer drinkin an pumpkin growin!
Thanks for the support Jeff... it was a heartbreaker, but fun as all get out!
