Hi all,

i bought a measuring tape from the Extremepumpkinstore.
Because English isn't my motherlanguage i do not know if i'm using it correct.

On the tape it says: Simply wrap the tape around your pumpkin from the stem to the blossem end, keeping the tape parallel to the ground, and read the estimated weight on the tape.

So if i begin to measure from the piont where the vine stops and the pumpkin begins, to the blossem and, i got my weight?
So i'm only use the tape on 1 side of the pumpkin?
I hope somebody could explain this to me in baby language, i would be very happy :)

I think its telling you to do a complete circle around

Yes, make a complete circle around your pumpkin. Make sure the tape goes above or below the stem ("where the vine stops").

Thanks for al the tips!
But i do not have to calculate OTT with this tape SCTROOPER?
I only have to measure once for an estimated weight?
