RE: People Leaving the List/ Dracut MA grower?/Question

Hi group,

The topic seems to have been near beaten to death and this may sound trite, 
but have we forgotten that we choose to be on this list? We had to make a 
conscious effort to subscribe. I have been mighty close to winging some hum 
dinger responses to posts that I disagreed with but didn't because the 
whole list would have been involved.  (Those replies wound up in the 
Recycle bin.) Someone somewhere taught that this was called respect. In the 
past people have sent wonderful, insightful personal replies...people have 
also sent hurtful malicious replies to me. Doubtful I can agree with 
everyone, nor expect everyone to agree with me. The list will not make us 
perfect or god. We remain inperfectly, perfect people.

The forum is different. We cannot see each other, we cannot hear our 
inflections or watch our facial nuances make communication come alive. What 
may be intended as a tongue in cheek post if delivered in person becomes 
rude when only printed.

In short I've learned a lot from people on the list...not just thigs about 
pumpkins....and hope that perhaps by being here, have contributed.  Time 
allowing, every post gets read. Other days, only a particular post or line 
of posts will catch my eye.

Ho hum, I hope John Lennon's statement applied to growing helps. "All we 
are saying...is give P's a chance."

Is there a grower on the list from Dracut, MA.? I see a wonderful giant 
everyday on my commute trhough Dracut.

My Failor 550 has begun to gain good color, but the growth is slow. It is 
also losing what seems to be too many leaves. The rest in the same patch 
are fine and there are four more pumpkins (though none as good as last 
year's at this time). Do leaves on the vine after the pumkin contribute at 
all to the growth?

As always,
Regards,
Kristina
