I just wanted to report that Marcellus' weight chart was *amazingly*
accurate.  It pegged the size of my largest pumpkin (Bertha) exactly to the
pound!

Actually, I measured it a day before picking, and the projected weight
*including one day's worth of growth* precisely equalled the weight on the
half moon bay scale.

Personally, I think it was the Greer 946.5 seed.  The plant was like a
convenient baby; it ran when it was supposed to run, it produced female
flowers at exactly the right moment, and it self-pruned to two pumpkins,
which grew stem down so that I didn't even need to support the vines.  And
while I wasn't looking, the plant read Marcellus' chart.

Optimists on the left, pessimists on the right.... does this mean next year
will be easy or hard?
