Orange pumpkins


   Hi List
 Well everyone has forgot to mention (so I will) that the Salinas Borchards 
Weigh off was GREAT for me too !!! Yes, after having my pumpkin off the vine 
for just about 2 MONTHS and taping out to 557 Lbs figured I would be happy 
for a 450 LB official weight, BETTER LUCK it was 530 lbs Official weight YEAH 
!!!! it was a crowd pleaser tall round and RED !!! Sorry Vince but it made 
Butter cup WELL look like Butter HE HE HE .. That's why it won PRETTIEST at 
the weigh off YEAH...Opened all my pumpkins yesterday and there was NO rot NO 
germination inside of the pumpkins, were as dry and fresh as they would had 
been on the vine !!!! except all have been sitting in the sun off the plants 
for 2 months !!! Anyone wanting seeds let me know I will be Looking for your 
Bubble packs and for those of you that have seeds to trade give me a quick 
email with your address and I will get the seeds to you for trade as soon as 
mine are dry !!! Just to let you know any one of my pumpkins could had took 
Prettiest but I wanted to take the offspring of my 758 to tease the CA 
Growers !!! OH the 530 was red but for 2 inches into the flesh under the skin 
it was dark green GO FIGURE !!! take care all and LETS TRADE SEEDS !!!!
