RE: Searching for a 801.5 Stelts

Welcome to the list Charles. The record for Tn. is in the 700's. I am Doug
Adams from Carrollton, Ga. There's been 5 over 600 pounds grown is GA.
Georgia's record is 698. North Carolina's is in the mid 800's.
Bigpumpkins.com is another good site to get info.

Kyle,

Thank you for writing back to me.  I am a family physician in Jefferson
City---23 years.  I just this week signed up for this pumpkin growers e-mail
service and I have been getting about 8 e-mails per day.  Am I doing it
correctly by just hitting "reply to" to send a response?  Does this mean
that
the e-mail is going to "everyone"?

I have been gardening for many years and trying to grow large pumpkins for
the
last 5 or 6 years.  I have just been ordering Dill's Atlantic Giant seed
from
the catalog---you know, 5 seed for $3.  I have yet to break 250 pounds.
When
I got beat this year at the local county fair by a 4-H girl, I decided to
dig
deeper and go online to look for better seed and better techniques.  Do we
even have a chance in Tennessee for a big one?  Are we too hot---80's and
90's
this summer?  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charles

  Hello All,
  I'm searching for only (1) proven seed for next year...the 801.5 Stelts.
  I have several top seeds to trade for one, and finally have the growing
  experience to do the plant and pumpkin justice next year.
  Please contact me if you have one, and are willing to discuss a trade.
  Thanks much,
  Kyle Little
