Re: Rocky's lost his best
Rocky.
I know the feeling. I was inside my monster collecting seeds today. I was
hoping to be doing this on Oct 3rd!!
I lost her to a rib split late Saturday night - Sunday morning.
Maybe it was inevitable anyway at the wild growth rates it was doing.
Final measurements at Day 47 - 153-89-88 = 330 ott - est 710 pounds.
Here is the growth data for those interested.

Pumpkin was a self pollinated Kennedy 625.
Would have been nice to get this thing to weighoff, but have a squash almost
as big so will end up going green this year I guess.
