Re: Just a Pup, The Guru History


List-
     I know none of you have heard from me in awhile, and most of you probaby
didn't notice, but here's my story : 

     27 years old, 18 years old?  I got you both beat...I'm 16.  And even if
Narek beats me, he doesn't really count, because supposedly he's off the list
for now...I think.  Well, last year was my second year, the first year ended
in disaster with only a 55 pounder...last year ended up rather well, and I was
pleased.  I ended up with three large pumpkins, off of two plants...One plant
yielded a 150 pounder, while the other, more healthy, and larger plant blessed
me with a 213 pounder (off of a vine coming out of the back of the plant
growing in the totally opposite way of the rest of the plant) and my monster
for the year, a 345 pounder.  I was so proud...and my neighbors and family
couldn't believe it.  I had a few friends from my team come over (It's a high
school cross country team, so we needed a few, we're not neccesarily known as
the strongest high school athletes, but we sure can run a long ways!!) and we
moved all my pumpkins into the front yard.  I ended up leaving the pumpkins
there until the first snow, and they actually didn't rot all that
much...although they were a little soft.  I harvested about 3 or 4 jars of
seeds from the two biggest pumpkins, then hacked them up with an ax and hauled
them off to the woods in our backyard.  You wouldn't believe how many of my
neighbors are going to be growing AG's next year...and all from my seeds!
Don't be suprised if you see a few more people on the list from Fishkill NY.
