Marv,
That would be quite an accomplishment, to grow a 1,000 pound pumpkin from a
51 lb. pumpkin. I do wish you luck and would think that a feat of that
magnitude would have to put you in a class by your self, perhaps even the
Guinness book of records, it could be a new category, who grew the largest
pumpkin from the smallest pumpkin!
