Well, I used the Dill method in the HTGWCGP book to measure my Burpee
Prizewinner, and both are telling me that it weighs over 200 pounds. Uh, I
DON'T THINK SO! I couldn't use the other table since the circ isn't 70 inches
yet.
The circ from stem to blossom end is 56 inches. The OTT measurement from stem
to blossom end is 40 inches, and across it is 37.5 inches. I took all the OTT
measurements EXACTLY the way it said, over the top and hanging down straight
to the ground on each side. Added all those up and multiplied by 1.9! How am
I
supposed to estimate the weight? I know it can't be over 200 pounds!

I don't think you can use an AG chart for a Prizewinner, the wall thickness on
an AG is much thicker.
