Ok Carlson from Iowa her speaking for Mr Marc Petersen and I....anyone want to venture a guess on what our splitter will weigh in at...it is a 1097beachy. that blossom end split 14 days ago...at 370" OTT....Last night she taped at 402" since we can't win anything and possibly hold any titles I have decided we should atleast have a little fun with it....Currently we intend to let it grow....until it stops for a couple days then cut it and weigh it...Winner will recieve 3 seeds from the actual fruit....and I'll even provide the bubble and the postage !!
DAN AND MARC!!
If you need pics maybe I can get some post on BP....Let me know if anyone wishes me to get some posted..I have no idea how to go about doing it....

So, debate still rages as to wether or not the 1458 was a world record. If it measures close hold on as long as possible. Congrats either way!
