Re: Squash Surprises for 99
ANdy,
I have a copy of my chart from last year, in Microsoft exel format, so if
you want one to see my notes and my measurements, and you have excel, let me
know, I can send it to you.. My 879 on August 18th measured 134-81-89=304" EST
WGHT 566 pounds. My squash ended up weighing 18.7 percent heavy, so if you throw
that into the date's estimated weight, I was @ 672 pounds. Hope that helps...
The Andersen 815 plant I think is one of the most fun plants to grow, so
aggressive, so wuick developing fruit, and of course, it is more than likely to
grow a squash!!
