I noticed the price for a 2551 seed just went up to $2499
Jim must know something....
Who's got the monster?
Looking through the weigh-off results, I see there's a 2551 plant in the Stelts patch...

I just weighed a 2,613 lb fruit off the 2551 at the National Pumpkin Weigh-off at Bishop's in Wheatland, California. Monster? You decide! Results should be posted soon.

I saw that one on FB, Jim! I didn't know that was a 2551. I believe that's the same one you solicited names for a while back and I suggested "Miss Fanny"

2,613 lbs. Jim? Holy smokes good for you. Guess I'm out of the loop on the 2551 Ford seed lol. That's fine because it's very difficult these days following all the record size AGs being weighed already and so many classic big orange ones now over 2,000 lbs. that I am sure come this winter/auctions there will be many available at reasonable prices.

Thomas, yes that was the very same pumpkin. I chose the name 'Sponge Blob' but I really liked all the names provided.
