Where do I go to find the techniques for standardized measurements? Standardized growth charts?

Currently I'm running a measurement tape around the pumpkins from the blossom end to the stalk end to get circumference..
Measurements are: 517 Glover - 41.5" ribbed 'watermelon' shape.. 625 Foss 'mother' - 41" smooth round ball...665 Mudd - 38.5" ribbed round ball..... 610 Garrell - 34" ribbed round w/pointed blossom end... 572 Moore - 30.5 strange oblong w/dill ring.... 1008.5 Mudd - 25" oval & 17" pear...

Once again BP.com has what you need...

Here's an article on how to measure.

What else was it you were looking for?
Stunner also has some excellent stuff up on the Maine Giant Pumpkin Growers site: http://www.mainepumpkins.com/mepgo.shtml

Look in the Misc. Section on the left.

Best of luck,
Jason

Hey teach, I got the 2005 Weight Estimation Chart from mainepumpkins.com Hope that helps. I use a cloth tape that I nabbed from ma's sewing kit to take measurements. Works well. Peace Wayne
