RE: Growing in Florida

Several years ago Tim Caniff set the Florida record, I think Tim's largest
pumpkin was 610 lbs in 2001. Tim is in the Bradenton area if I remember
correctly. Barb Kincaid was also a grower in the Orlando area but
unfortunately passed away too early several years ago.

Have not heard from Tim for awhile maybe someone has a current update.

Just curious if there are any Florida growers on this list.  I'll be moving
from NJ to the Orlando area late this summer, and will probably stop growing
pumpkins.  I would think it's too hot in FL (and the sun too intense) to
have much success growing Atlantic Giants down there, even if I had misters
on constantly.
