I lost mine to disease. I am going to grow it again in 2016.

I grew it in a 200 square ft patch.It got hit with hail and high winds which set it back.Mine was a slow grower but I really didn't put the time in on this one and it finished out at 425 est weight.The walls were thick and blossom end was thick.Wish I could have done this one the justice it deserved

Great seed! Plant grew very well. Did the best with powdery mildew in my patch also. Pumpkin was a very consistent grower too. Never had a 40 pound day but held in the upper 30's for a long time. It was my best performer and it was going up against a 1625 Gantner and a 1756 Howell/Jolivette. I would definitely grow it again if mine didn't produce seeds, but I plan on growing out my selfed seeds. Had a good number of nice quality seeds.

Oh, and it had a nice shape. Not a blob. Kind of salmon colored.
