This is my baby!!!!  

The Case 321 (wahoo!) is a Eaton 739 (F) X Open Pollinated (M).
This was my first year growing an AG.  I have wanted to grow
a monster pumpkin for years and years--this year I achieved 
my goal (admittedly in a relatively modest way).  This pumpkin 
was 100% organically grown, had another pumpkin on the vine and
received nothing in the way of vine trimming, etc.  It sure
caused a stir at work.  Everyone thought it was the hugest
pumpkin they had ever seen.  :-)  

I got the seed from someone on this list.  I've since 
forgotten who was kind enough to send it to me, but thank
you, whoever you are.  

Next year I am going to (naturally) grown one even bigger.
I am going to stick with organic but fertilize more heavily,
make sure no additional pumpkins sneak on the vine, and
try trimming the vines.  I am also going to start my seeds
a few weeks earlier.

This is a great hobby and I am hooked!  Thanks for the seed
and the all the good info from all of you.  If you haven't
weighed yet, good luck, and if you have, good luck next
year.

Shaun in Spokane.
