Spirit is a hybrid variety that was an AAS winner in the late 70s. Around 90-100 days to mature. For me the vines are about 4 feet long...although one arm stretched out around 7 feet long. It's listed as a semi-bush variety which holds true. <br /><br />My first pumpkin off of my plant was close to 7 1/2 pounds. The size of a bowling ball. I have another out there of comparable size and two smaller ones on the same plant. <br /><br />I haven't tasted one yet. I did run it through my food mill to save for holiday pies. These are the perfect size for carving. I posted a picture of one of the pumpkins fully grown, a cut from the vine about two weeks ago. <br /><br />Mine don't look like gourds. I'm thinking you might have received seeds that were accidentally mixed up or seeds that were saved from this hybrid (won't come true to type). <br /><br />So far I am very happy with the small amount of space these take up. The size of the pumpkins doesn't appear to be compromised either. I'm loving this variety.<br /><br />KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171937062608199395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612733656275176261.post-48470149495520616472011-08-08T20:08:05.093-04:002011-08-08T20:08:05.093-04:00Hello Kim,

Unfortunately, I went out in the evening, and he was nowhere to be found. Off to molt again perhaps? Hopefully the birds didn't find him.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171937062608199395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612733656275176261.post-38889708886349624772011-06-13T15:06:51.500-04:002011-06-13T15:06:51.500-04:00I am going to save seed this season as well.

This year I am going to baby them. :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171937062608199395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612733656275176261.post-59993267349246443302011-06-13T11:56:45.710-04:002011-06-13T11:56:45.710-04:00Every thing is lovely!
