I have a personal believe that to grow a pumpkin of 800 lb. or more you
need to have a 30 day circumference tape of 100" or more.
I'd like to poll all growers of 800 lb plus pumpkins as to what there 30
day circumference tape was. I think it could be a good indicator to a grower
if he has any chance of growing a pumpkin of 800 lbs or more. Thanks for
your help.

Hi Alan and list members
In a recent e mail with a prominent heavy hitter, he gave me the following
guideline. He wrote that to have a pumpkin of 800 pounds or more, you want to
have a 60 inch circumference by day 20 after pollination.
