My 906.5 is showing early ribbing, also. The worst part is that it's a
really ugly-shaped fruit. It is extremely tall and short from blossom to
stem. It's also a little lopsided. If you just look at it from the stem
end it looks just fine, but it is really odd looking. If i can, I'll get a
picture of it on the web. For those of you that have grown pumpkins that
began too tall, will it fill out eventually? It is supposed to be my best
one. The measurments are: cir.=55" s-s=47" f-b=43" The pumpkin was
pollinated 6/25.

>Dear Pumpkin Group,
> First, thank-you for the wonderful advice and the warm welcome. Now
about the ribbed pumpkin, I do believe it is a genuine Dill Atlantic Giant.
I received the seeds from a neighbor, he writes growers and associations for
seeds and then distributes them to growers in the quad lake area (or to
whomever shows up at the Pilot House for Saturday Breakfast). He gave me
four packets with one seed in each, on the packets it reads; Johnson 361,
LaRue 425, Dill 600, Lloyd 906.5. The pumpkin developing the ribs is from
the Lloyd. I set another two pumpkins on this plant and one at 5 days is
also showing heavy ribbing but the one at 10 days is smooth. I'm taking my
family on vacation and leaving today, as soon as the kids are to tired to
argue, but I would be happy to send pictures of these pumpkins to anyone of
you experts to decide if they are a problem. I'll have my laptop with me so
e-mail me your address and I'll mail them to you (if you want a postcard
I'll include one also).
