I hope the apple won't fall far from the tree!

This is the pumpkin my new seed came out of - the 974.5 Bhaskaran 2005. (The picture is shamelessly stolen and used without permission from the grower, David Bhaskaran. Dave is a grower in Minnesota who generously gives his seeds to wannabees like me.)

I'm really excited about this year's seed. The father of David's pumpkin is a seed I've seen offered in seed autions before, and the pollinator came from a 1420 pound pumpkin. That seed has been named one of the "Twelve Seeds to watch for 2007"! It makes my hands shake just typing those words... this year's gonna be sweet!

By the way, if you're a fan of grotesquely huge pumpkins, you ought to check out the pictures of David's pumpkins:
