Re: Earthquake....save the pumpkins

Seismologists have determined that the epicentre of today's two 4.5 quakes
in the Pacific Northwest was right in the middle of my pumpkin patch!.

Apparantly rapid vine and root growth of my already huge plant caused these
disturbances to the earth's crust.

I'm now advised not to let fruit set - that my plant is capable of producing
pumpkin so large that its mere weight alone might trigger the next "Big One".

But you can all breathe easier - I'll see that my pumpkin will only be large 
enough to beat Duncan - and that shouldn't take much.
