1111 Engel 2023 823 Engel 2023 x 1965 Caspers 2023 This pumpkin was a one of the most beautiful pumpkins I have grown. I had the limit the water to control phytophthora in the patch. Which drastically limited its growth

Here is the 507 Engel 2024 it is a 359 Foss 2013 x 2261 Kisamore. This plant got phytophthora and I lost the entire plant with the exception of two secondaries next to the stem. It will be seeing the dirt in my patch next year. I am not sure how they measured her at Anoka. I was getting 550 est. Somehow they got 757 est which made it very light to the chart.
