The Variety is called " Prizewinner " averages for me any way about 125-145 lbs, unless I really push it then they will top 200lbs ... They have good color and shape with very little effort , like turning etc ...They run about 40' of runner my rows are 15' apart and space'n is at 10-12' ......

No ,
I have give some thought to a pre-planting weed control , but not sure just how it would change things . I start my plants in a green house in order to get a long enough growning season ,any weed control have seen will not let me do that ,, so I am master of the shiney hoe ....lol

Nice looking pumkins. Do you run a farm stand?

I drive by your neck of the woods often (Parents live in Dartmouth). If your missing one, you know why...
