1103 Young

1103

The 1103 initially concerned me due to its torpedo shape.  However, it did grow out of it and I think it will be a brilliant orange.  This is my wife’s favorite pumpkin, but it might end up too big to take to her classroom.  Due to my busy schedule I was unable to get this one planted and in the hoop house right away so it was a little root bound when transplanted.  The plant pulled out of it and is growing nicely.  I am using a spider shaped pattern with the vines on this one.  The plant is very durable and has survived 60+ mile an hour gusts and where the plant was outside the hail netting, it has suffered some damage.  I’m sure happy I grew this seed this year.
