Can you name the pumpkins that fit the following:

Both in the top 500 pumpkins grown (Pumpkin fanatics Top 500 Pumpkins)
Both are the exact same weight.
Both were grown in 2016.
Both are the ONLY listed progeny of their respective parents. (Pumpkin fanatic's planted-seed list)

A small, hopefully big, prize for the first correct answer:

A full set 2016 PGVG field pumpkins OR pick two "top 500 pumpkins" out of my personal collection:

1961.5 Sperry
1921 Weston
1918.5 Qualley
1912 Carter
1799.5 Daletas
1775.5 Brungard
1774.5 Carter
1740 Globus
1739 Skinner
1718 Weston
1717 Fulk
1704 Fleser
1696 Kaminski
1685.5 Scherber
1677 Boyce
1653 Foss
1649 Lancaster
1639 Kruszyna
1584 Root
1533 Haist (not sure this one is top 500 but it has some top orange genetics)

Good luck. Who will pull their sharp knife out first?

I havent found any that match all criteria. The closest i found was the 1695 Geddes 2016 and 1695 Frazfer 2016. I am not sure about the Frazfer since it lists it being grown from seed unknown. Seems to me that there have been many grown on unknown seed.

Mikkal, nails the three that I was thinking of!!! Send email & I will send lope seeds...and since you are "the all knowing one" LOL Answer me this...was the long gourd that Glen mentioned measured at the KGPG weighoff & was it a new state record, if so...I guess I get to try & pay off twice!! It's all good!! Peace, Wayne
PS...always nice to see Indiana folks at the KGPG weighoff! You have been a great help from year 1, I think!!!

6/6/2017 12:36:34 AM

It looks like the gourd was grown in Ohio, so not a Kentucky record. Ohio record is over 140".
