2020 begins with renewed effort to grow the biggest, orangest, HD winningest pumpkin of all time. The shiny artifact in the photo is getting awfully comfortable on my mantle. One more win and its a hat-trick. This year's team is set up for lots of shots on goal: 1211 Ailts x 3, 1464 Brown x 2, and 908 Gansert.

691 Ailts 2020 (~300lb Foss x self) > 740 Wolf x 1211 Ailts, weighed at Altoona, WI weigh off. As luck would have it, the last minute throw in plant in the most neglected part of the garden with the smallest amount of square footage goes on to produce the largest official pumpkin in the patch. Flawless deep red color with no sunburst effect. Blemishes due to leaf stalk and cucumber beetle damage. Currently on display at Nickelodian Universe at the Mall of America in Minneapolis.
