 I have a question and PLEASE do not refer me to the archives.  Do you know
 how difficult and time consuming it is to search for one little answer in
 the gazillion e-mails? That type of response is frustrating, at best.
 
 Newcomers need mentors to guide them, and we really appreciate it when you
 share your knowledge. 
 
 I was wondering:  If you plant a pumpkin in a climate with a long growing
 season, say 9 months like we have here in Texas, instead of 5-6 months of
 the northern areas will the pumpkins continue to grow all 9 months or does
 the vine/fruit have a certain 'life' where it stops growing and begins to
 deteriorate?  As you can tell, I am a newborn - this is our first year.   We
 don't even have a contest down here, but we are trying to see how they do so
 we can develop some interest with the locals. 
 
 Thanks.
