My 6-year-old helper named her "Araya". Not sure where that name came from. Nice and orange. 161" for 99 lbs. Best colored AG I have ever grown. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186352 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186352 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:13:04 GMT 1068 Foss "Nellie".

Growing nicely. 172" for 118 lbs. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186350 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186350 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:09:31 GMT Babboon is grown on the 1083 Jensen. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186348 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186348 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:07:59 GMT A closer look. Hard to measure with the odd shape, but total was 167" for 109 lbs. Pretty sure it is not accurate. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186346 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186346 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:07:26 GMT This is our Babboon pumpkin. Weird shape, and the blossom end looks like some sort of hernia. Will these defects cause it to break? http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186345 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186345 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:05:31 GMT Looking back at my notes, here are my crosses on what I have growing: 1083 Jensen female x 1068 Foss, this one has the abnormal blossom end.

Very crowded where I have them, but they seem to be doing well. I have one pumpkin on a 1083 Jensen, that has a bulging blossom end. My kids t... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186177 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=186177 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 14:45:29 GMT Haven't had time for pictures, want to clean the weeds away from the plants first. Bad year for pigweeds. BUT, I pollinated an 804 Kurilich yesterday with a 1083 Jensen. Hopefully it took. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=183219 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=183219 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 17:49:34 GMT My pumpkin helper, Erika. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=176631 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=176631 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:54:45 GMT Well, it's time to start this pumpkin stuff again!

Bowhunting! Since the farming season is way late, and it has been raining, I have had some time to sit in a tree stand. I was after this... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=120208 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=120208 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:39:44 GMT Whoa, been a while since I have contributed to this site. The only pumpkin I have growing is a 613 Gerry. It is still super healthy, but the cold spring and summer has put him behind. He is growing... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=120207 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=120207 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:35:42 GMT This is uow weight, but it was weighed on a state certified bulk chemical scale. It taped around 244 lbs est, so it did go a little heavy, about 7%. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=96386 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=96386 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:19:32 GMT Harvested the pumpkin today due to no growth for the last eight days.
