5 gallon buckets / list members v.s. non-list members

Both my husband and I are fattish and forty-ish, if that helps, no warts...
but the kids will hopefully be doing all the work and so you may count our
three under 8.  The competition is fun and I like it too, but would like to
think that our list could work productively as a giant team AGAINST all non-
list pumpkineers, that somebody on our list would have the biggest ever in the
world and that our average would be higher than the non-list pumpkin grower's
average.  With all the great shared info and great genetics in all these seeds
that have been shared surely this is a pretty safe bet!  I feel like people on
this list are all on my team, and if we grow the biggest  all the glory would
certainly be all yours.  

 I have also  been wondering about two growers that mentioned 5 gallon
buckets, one for watering and one for transplanting.  How many gallons does
the one who waters by hand average, I'll bet it is less than 1000 per day even
in August.  living in New Mexico with a stingy well, I am planning water
conservation strategies that will get the water to the roots without waste.
And I also wonder how far ahead Nic is able to start his seedlings if they
have such a larger space to grow in???  Is it the standard 10 days or more?
