Well, it's time now to annonce the name of the winner.
When I said , I wasn't agree for the pumpkin guess,It meant too high ! lol
Yep the photo is taken with a deep angle with a semi-pro camera. The fruit looks huge but it's not.
It taped 1200lb but the scale today said 1017lb.
The 1161 Rodonis was a super plant. Late June, the mainvine tip and some laterals burnt during a very hot day ( 35°C outside and 55°C inside the tunnel opened)
I trained the last lateral has a mainvine and wait a female. It happened on the 15 of july. Then, Moles and voles arrived in the patch, and ate most of the roots system. A true nightmare ! However, the fruit keeps growing slowly up to sunday 31 october 2010 but was a ballon. Sorry and Thanks Bill.

And the winner is............................. Owen !

Thanks to all for all that fun !

Well, I figured the onion was about 2.8, but 2.81 and 2.82 had already been chosen, so I had to go for 2.83. The beetroot was the easy one. It looked a bit bigger than mine this year, so had to be 12.35. :)
Missed out on the pumpkin though.
