Bruce and Wayne,
The friendly wager may have to be upgraded to the Bud Bowl status of pumpkin
growing. Weigh offs will aways be the Superbowl, but during those commercials
you have to have interesting stuff.
How does the Nuts and Syrup Challenge 1 sound?
Here is the latest, I have gotten a few, rather many emails about people who
want to be on 'Our Team' out west and I don't know what to tell them. To
expand, here are some new things for you to look at...
1. We could use the Mississippi River as a division line between team Nuts and
Team Syrup (who have been knicknamed 'the sticky team'). Reason being, I have
gotten a few, rather a bunch of emails from people who want to join in the
fun. The bulk are from California, but there are others too. What should I
tell them?
2. Weighoffs, I know there are many weighoffs out there with many not being
on the big GPC weighoff date. The Weeks Seeds, Windsor, and others could all
be counted for you guys and the big sites from the West. Every weighoff
counts as long as there are judges and an accurate scale. That way, the true
top 10 pumpkins grown by each side would be represented. For instance 1 of
our top ten may come from Carnation, 4 from Canby, 2 from Half Moon Bay, and 3
from the other GPC sites on our side of the Mississippi. Our cutoff date
could be Halloween.
We could really have some fun and get everyone involved. Then we could all
get together with our top pumpkins and have a crash up derby using the
pumpkins as boats with the last pumpkin able to keep its skipper afloat the
winner. Let me know about the Nuts and Syrup stuff, the boats were a crazy
thought.
Take Care,
Brett
