=====================================================
PumpkinWitch,
Well I don't know about the title Pro, if I can repeat for several years
what I accomplished in '97 I may readily accept the honor, but thanks!
Do I foliar feed, ABSOULUTLY! As PumpkinGuy has pointed out to all of us
several times foliar feeding is a very good method of delivering fert. to
where it is really going to be utilized the most. The Roots! When you spray
water on your leafs, where does it run? Down the leaf, down the stem to the
root structure which has emerged off the leaf axle.
I will save the rest of my story for Don' second edition of How to Grow
World Class Giant Pumpkins!
And no I do not get any Royalty checks!
Chris
