George,
Years back i remember you commenting on this subject and i thought that you were
wrong that a big plant was the ticket....and in some cases is.... I thought that
the roots only went 8 inches..........until I did some
test.s.........................and changed my mind.................and you
aren't the last grower to realize this i am.............no one was blabbing
their findings............and it seems to be figuring the best plant size for
your area.........................and how many pumpkin you want per
plant..................so this next season i will do more test...............and
someday figure this out yeah right!!!..ha..ha..ha..ha,,,,,,,,,,,,brock
