That is a beautiful fruit Martin! And here I have been looking for something big and orange to cross into my 1367.5 fruit next year...

Hey Martin, do you turn it everyday to keep it round? ;)

Interesting, going back and looking at the diary, how the
unpollinated female had such a perfect look to it, and now
how the finished fruit has that same sort of perfect
shapeliness to it... (No, I'm not crazy, go look at it!)

Martin:
My chances of getting my hands on a 670 Daigle just went from slim to none! Just wondering: what's the fate of the 801 used as pollinator? (Size, shape & color...)

The more I think about this pumpkin and Martin's commitment to "growing orange" this year, the more I'm impressed by this great pumpkin! While the rest of us are willing to grow the ugliest fruit imaginable to get the heaviest pumpkin we can grow, here is Martin sticking to his guns to grow only beautiful, orange pumkins...and who ends up getting the big one???? Poetic justice!
