1182 Gawlik pumpkins. You can clearly see the 1931 Turner genetics, glad i used it as pollinator for the 701 young (which is is a 2360 Montsma x 1931 Turner cross)

The 701 Young (crossed with the 1182 Gawlik) came in 2nd at the bavarian Championship (pumpkin on the left). It was 1391 lbs and 4,47% heavy. If the mouse would not have bit through the main vine, I'm sure this would have been my biggest pumkin . Still happy with the result

2404 Barron (crossed with the 2369 Werner) Final weight was 1575 lbs. Way below the estimation but she lost a lot of water before and while lifting. I guess the peak weight was around 1653 lbs. My biggest pumpkin this year and new PB.

2nd place at the austrian championship. My 2369.5 Werner came in at 1580 lbs and was 3% heavy. I also accomplished my goal to beat the austrian outdoor record of 1527 lbs. Even though the 2404 pumpkin split at around 1653 lbs 4 weeks before the weigh off + the mouse which ate 2/3 of the 701s main vine I am still happy with this season:)
