Re: Ben's Australian record pumpkin

Martin:

Like you, me and a lot of grower's are keeping track of Ben's great success
in high heat. The southeastern Growers met yesterday and Ben's pumpkin
success in high heat was mentioned several times.

I think it is amazing that folks in Germany, Australia, Canada and the USA
can share in Ben's progress. As Al Eaton says, "growing giant pumpkins is
the best ambassador of good will among countries".

Best of Luck to Ben:

Flowery Branch, Georgia  (hot as hades in summer)

> Yes, I watch Ben's Grower Diary on Bigpumpkins.com several times every
day. I even chat with him via email regularly. It is really amazing how well
he is doing with his 845 Bobier 00 plant. And his pumpkin is only 58 days
old and is already estimated at 1019lbs!!! The current Australian record is
660lbs - almost the same as ours in Germany which is 658lbs - and Ben is
going to beat it by at least 400lbs!!! Wish I could do nearly as well as Ben
this year :-)
