I can't believe nobody posted... Man, sorry to see your Daletas pumpkin go down. I got a call from another grower that you had just posted,,,,,,,, I was hoping it wasn't true!
So, so, so sorry bud. What a ride that must have been!

The joys of growing these things,, ugh!

It was an amazing site to see Gene's huge pumpkin from the 1989.5Daletas in the patch tour. It looked so solid. Hard to believe it went down.

Sorry... very cool that you tried an unproven seed.

I would like to make a note here that actually two very large 2145 remakes are down. Here is the other:

Thank you all . This is a hobby that has a lot of challenges . We hope for the best but sometimes things just don't turn out the way you want. I am already starting to work on next season and learned a lot. Best of luck at the scales. Gene

I agree with you totally Gene, in Kansas it seems like our seasons are always cut short. But it never stops me from hiking my boots up and preparing for next year. Best of luck and I hope you continue your diaries. I love seeing your pictures!
