Canadian beer.... rips you off one full bottle per case. They bottle it at
11.5 oz per bottle. One half ounce to 24 bottles equals one full beer.
I had one of my best ever come off the vine this evening. I can only blame
myself! I did some very poor vine management on her. I'll take you up on
your "Borax" payback offer later this year, after you are in the 1,000 lb
club.

Steve,
I'd love to do that, but growing AGs has made me cut down dramatically on
the
BS.
Remember, Ron Wallace's biggest pumpkin in 2008 weighed 1195lbs--he lost all
his big ones. He held the world record in 2006 with a 1502.
2008 was the year Steve Connally was disqualified for his 1568 because of a
leak that happened in the 80 miles from his house to Warren, RI.
Crap happens to the best growers. Joe Jutras is still working to best his
1689 in 2007.
Howard Dill said it very well when asked what it took to grow the big
ones--"Good seeds, good soil, GOOD LUCK!!!
I hope you do a big one this one this year. I'll let you know how I do
10/9/10 at our weighoff here in VT. I am confident 1 of 3 will be my
personal
best.
Full power, Steve--stay the course.
Steve Minor
PS I'm as nervous as all hell, too. Thank God for 9 per cent Canadian beer.
