[Michalec, Chris] I think it may also give a pretty strong
indication of the value of his books. You can have nothing but seeds with
good genetics, but if you don't know how to care for them once they're in
the garden you pumpkins will be average at best. Congratulations to
everyone who grew them and did well and to Don who helped provide the seeds
and the know how for those successful new growers.
