Bev,
Rain has stopped here but temps are very cold. In the 35 yrs I have lived
here I never remember a spring, almost summer like this. Plants are still
just sitting in the ground thinking about growing and wondering if they are
truly in Calif. My 977 seems to be snapping out of it's funk. It is in a
Hill with a Greer 1006, Eaton 853 and Meisner 288, it is going to be a real
tuff call when it comes to the cut. I think you should give Mr. Pumpkin a
chance, after all Mr. Pumpkin is yours! Hooray, Hue live's on.........! They
are not big pumpkins 200lbs. at most but they sure are nice looking! Please
stay in touch on your progress!
Chris
