Dead or at least dying.


I think it is over for this site. Death was due to too much manure in the 
form of chit chat and too much competition from other sites with different 
formats. I started here and certainly got a lot of help over the years. Now there 
are other sites which are competing and which offer information as good as and 
in many cases better than what has recently been seen here. It is too bad but 
then again life goes on. I feel sorry it has come to this but the reality is 
that there are now sites such as Bigpumpkins.com which are more geared to grower 
problems and specific questions with answers. The format here is simply not 
as good in that information is more difficult to locate and often is 
incomplete. Some of the growers that were once here have gone, probably out of 
exhaustion, after seeing the same question come up over and over again. "How does milk 
help a pumpkin grow and how much should I give and how should I apply it? And 
should I use low fat milk?" It would be nice if there was a comeback and it is 
possible but I think not likely. For those remaining, have a good growing 
season. WIth the right seed and the right conditions and a little luck, this 
could be your year. Watch out for the groundhogs!!!
