Those are some good looking pumpkins. What is the cross of the 603.
Good luck, keep growing.

The 603 is a Nesbitt 845 x self. The 603 also won the Howard Dill award last year in Canfield for the best looking pumpkin. That’s why I planted it this year; I wanted to see if the shape and color genes would come through.

Good Luck

I agree very nice. Thats how a pumpkins should look. Did you self the 603? If so what are the chances of me getting some seeds? I am looking for some big orange ones like yours.

Jeff - You really want Mark's 603 if you are looking for a similar fruit to what he's growing now.

Genetically speaking you have much better chances growing the original 603 than one of it's progeny. (for looks)
