Hi,

Does anyone have any theories why there have been no growers
from the Southeast who have reached the 1,000 lb. club?  Is it
related to air temperature, soil temperature, seed strain? 
Since the AG was originated by Howard Dill in Canada, does that
make the pumpkin better suited to Northern climates?

Only my second year growing pumpkins so I don't recall a big
discussion on this topic.  If there was a discussion on this,
just direct me to when it occurred.

Thanks.
