This was the first year of growing this pumpkin and I'm quite impressed by it. It's a variety that needs lots of room as the vines grow 20' or more with one or more pumpkins on each vine. In fact it is September 4th and the vines are still putting out new fruit, They are quite unusual, you are looking for round pumpkins and these young ones are pencil shape and color. The profile states 20-25# fruit and for the most part it's true but I got several in the 30#'s and above and one that topped the scale at 49 1/2#'s which was grown on a old gravel roadbed.The base of the pumpkin has the seed and such but rest is solid unlike regular pumpkins We are in drought conditions here in Missouri so I have watered regularly and heavy, this may have contributed to the success we've had as we have harvested nearly 1200 #'s as of this date from an area of about 10,000 sq.ft. I will be growing it next year
