I felt like I should type up an explanation of the pumpkins I grew since it is fairly confusing. I grew 4 plants two 81 Wolf's A & B, 103 MacKinnon, and 128 Werner.

81 Wolf Plant A grew the following:
189.5 Steil 14 (81 Wolf x Self)
141.5 Steil 14 (81 Wolf x Sibb)
123 Steil 14 (81 Wolf x Self)

81 Wolf Plant B grew the following:
197.5 Steil 14 (81 Wolf x Self)
125 Steil 14 (81 Wolf x 103 MacKinnon)

103 MacKinnon Grew
129.5 Steil 14 (103 MacKinnon x 81 Wolf B)

128 Werner Grew
124 Steil 14 (128 x Self) I had trouble getting a good shaped set on this plant.

Hopefully that explains it a little better. The 141.5 could possibly be the best seed out of them all.

Yes, great job! That is quite an awesome "base-line" with some outstanding "outliers". The fact that you grew 454 pounds of field pumpkin on one plant is astonishing.

Excellent achievement! 7 pumpkins over 120 lbs from only 4 plants is quite remarkable.

I was happy with my personal best 67#, but when they displayed it right next to your 189.5 at the weigh off, it looked like a pie pumpkin. I am impresses by your success.
