Re: other giants


Jon,

This is my second year also, I made it to 133 last year but mine are really
growing slow this year.  Doing better with the pumpkins this year, I'm up to
about 180 so far which is great for me, about doubled last years.

I would love to have a few of the seeds for cross pollinating.  I can
reimburse you or we can trade some seeds??
