Only 1354, I guess he's got a lot of work to do to get something good.

Seriously, that is awesome. Sometimes I have a hard time believing all the numbers that I see coming in this year. What a bunch of great growers.

What seed was the 1354 grown on?

The 1354 was grown on a Bobier 723 and pollinated with a Checkon 986 which was also grown on the 723.

Also, my 2nd pumpkin that developed a tiny split last Friday weighed in on Friday at 1233. It was grown on my 1242(another 723 cross) and the OTT (393") estimate was 1240 lb.
