For Heaven's Sake, Barb:
Vines 40-50" in the air; 1000#+ pumpkins. Don't give him any more encouragement.
It's bad enough, now.
Remember, when most of us join the list, we enter the equivalent of the twilight
zone. The majority of us are half-cracked already. that's what makes them so
interesting, amusing & good friends. But it also makes them fanatics. Who knows
what kind of powderkeg this kind if incediary statement might spark???
I can see these guys trying to ship a heated greenhouse to the moon by the space
shuttle. The only thing that is saving us is that the plants would take even more
care than they do here & someone would have either live there or commute

down???
Thank heaven there is no water in fluid form on the moon or these crazies would
want the Pumpkin Regatta held there.
