 Now, I will admit that since this is the first time I have ever tried
to grow one of these pumpkins, and in fact, this is the first garden I
have ever tried, period. Therefore I am hoping that you all will be
considerate and give me the aid I need to do my poor best at this new
"sport".  Therefore, I have a question; my pumpkin has set fruit now,
and one of them, at four days old,  is presenting a problem I didn't
think I would have to deal with; does anyone here know the settings for
my satelite navigation system? I have to circumnavigate the thing in the
morning again, and unfortunately it is blocking my view of the sun, and
its' gravitational mass is so great it is forming it's own magetic
field. My compass and survey equipment won't work. (sigh) Could you all
take some pity on a novice?

C'mon, ladies, we can't let these braggarts get the best of us!
