I have three plants in my patch.  One plant has two pumpkins that I left 
on and the other two plants each have one pumpkin.  The plant that has 
two pumpkins is a funny plant.  The pumpkins have a large knob on the 
flower end.  I call it my chesty plant because they look like a big set 
of yellow boobs.  I have not measured them, but I would gues that they 
are around 20lbs each.  My next biggest pumpkin is sitting on the vine 
which crept about ten feet onto my lawn.  I have not measured it since 
Aug 17 and then it was 30lbs according to the ovt.  My biggest one I 
measured this morning and it has a ovt of 154.5 which makes it around 87 
lbs.  I am quite excited because my mom told me I would be lucky to get a 
fifty pounder and I told her I was going to take a 100 pounder out of 
that patch.  My parents were up yesterday and I think mom is eating her 
words.  I told her that next year I was going to get a 200 pounder by 
using all of the knowledge that is shared in this group.  I am proud of 
what I have accomplished in my first year and I am now hopelessly 
addicted to the quest for the big one.  Next year the whole garden is 
going to be pumpkins.
