Good luck as well Jan. As I said I know of a few others over a 1000 lbs. Let's hope she goes real heavy. Nonetheless an excellent achievement regardless of what happens.

Jos, oktober 7th would be much better, ofcourse. :-)
See you there in Duisburgs sporthal, with mij smaller squash. :-( lol
Jos, Jan, Brad, Iwan, Harry, many Kasterlee growers too?

Normally she get weighed at our local weigh-off at september 30 and a week later in Duisburg. I'm almost certain she goes a little bit light however, so a worldrecord is not at the order i think. Maybe the guys from Kasterlee (or someone else) have a bigger squash, i don't no. Anyway i thank you all for the support and ofcourse Owen Olsen for the seed.

Theo, I won't be at Duisburg. The only pumpkin I have left is not even at 600 lbs.

Janrje, I would be surprised if it went light, mine went heavy last year. Best of luck, and if you need more seed, you got it. Job well done.

Thanks Owen, ofcourse i want a few of your 792-seeds (and others maybe?). Will trade with you in the fall if that's ok. Send you a few E-mails a while back but got no answer, maybe they did not came true? It's a pitty you didn't grow a 792 yourself...

Hello all, i can tell you that she wheighs 474.6 kg or 1046.3 lbs and went 7.5 % light. This is caused by the dry month of septembre i think and the fact i didn't give her much water to prevent splittng. Als the fruit has a shape that is not easy to meassure correctly. So it is not a world record but only a European one. But will only be official on Saturday 7 i think. Read my diary tomorrow and let me know your opinion.
