Iris,
My 1985 has massive cot leaves and a stem just long enough to keep them out of the soil. The first true leaf is standing up very quickly. I an anxious to get it out into the patch and see it take off. So far this is an excellent plant.

@wixom-grower, I have the impression you misunderstood the question.

@Iris, the answer to your 1725 question might be somewhere in this thread:

I know the 1725 is a 1385 Jutras selfed. But the specific 1725 Harp that was used to pollinate the 2009 Wallace to produce the 1985 Miller? What did it produce? I think ole So. Cal. Grower might know the answer!!! Good Luck to all. Iris.

According to the thread that Pumpking listed (Thanks), Matt Mckonkie asked the same question. A fellow that had talked to Gary a few days earlier "thought the 1725 produced three pumpkns and the biggest one was 900 pounds". Thanks and good luck to all! Iris.
