Cliff,
Yes, I watch Ben's Grower Diary on Bigpumpkins.com several times every day. I even chat with him via email regularly. It is really amazing how well he is doing with his 845 Bobier 00 plant. And his pumpkin is only 58 days old and is already estimated at 1019lbs!!! The current Australian record is 660lbs - almost the same as ours in Germany which is 658lbs - and Ben is going to beat it by at least 400lbs!!! Wish I could do nearly as well as Ben this year :-) 
Best wishes,
Martin Reiss
