I was correct for assuming this pumpkin would be heavy to chart, with all the meat in the back end, but I did not expect 17% heavy :) 2079 Zappa "2025" Cross: 2315 Zapp... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=356670 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=356670 Sun, 12 Oct 2025 15:32:56 GMT 7.07 Zappa, grown from 6.97 Foss.

I have 5 or 6 on this 166 Yohe plant, and will cull down to 4 soon. This one developed a bad Dill ring over the past 2 day... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=356062 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=356062 Mon, 15 Sep 2025 12:08:14 GMT I forgot to mention that I believe this tomatoe is at day 51.

The 839 I have this year, just isn't doing it. It has a great color for sure. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355778 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355778 Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:07:55 GMT My 839 Sandercock plant has a few tap roots going down off the main vine that are just ridiculous! They are 2 inches diameter or a tad bigger. I've never had any like this before. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355777 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355777 Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:05:20 GMT
