R2 hope you did not develop a hernia loading them in the wheelbarrow. Are they for Halloween carving or pumpkin pie making ?

No hernias. I rolled them into the wheelbarrow and then rolled them onto the scale and again back into the wheelbarrow.

Turns out the Big Moose are an excellent cooking pumpkin. I will keep one for cooking. The poultry will get some and the rest will be given away.

I didn’t weigh mine, but I was not as impressed as I had hoped to be.

I only weighed the biggest one. I doubt that I will grow them again. In all fairness, they had to really fight off the weeds.

Big Moose is the only large pumpkin with a short enough growing season to be grown here. They are said to be able to make 120 lbs.

I have not decided on them again. I was disappointed in the shape and they don’t seem to last long once pulled.

They were never claimed to be a good storage onion. I believe it says one month under storage length.

If you want a good storage onion, try Copra. They are not a big onion but store very well. I believe they are listed as 6 to 8 months for storage.
