Here's the information from Paul in Eastlake with his and his neighbor's results......
Recall late start with 8 seeds which produced 4 plants, two plants (mine)produced a couple of softball sized, third plant (pix # pump3) produced average sized but very shiny, bright color, with color up most of the stem. 13.5 lbs, 35 inch circumference, about 8 inches height. Fourth plant we will call Eastlake #4 for now, (pix pump4) had good sun exposure, was 60 inch circumference, 65.4 pounds, 17 inches tall including stem Next year, earlier start, more sun,along with squirrel, deer & fox (for #4) strategies.
Everyone's pumpkins are beautiful. I'm disappointed I didn't have a contender this year, but I'm looking forward to making pies out of my Jaradales. Hopefully the interiors aren't blue like the exteriors.
