sunflowers

Dear Pumpkin Growers,

Regrettably, Buck Meier's father is very ill. Currently, he is with his
family at Johns Hopkins where his father is being treated. He visited my
Nursery a couple of weeks ago and looked and acted very tired, but seemed
in good spirits. His fiancee', my sister, Carmen has been getting phone
calls and e-mails regarding sunflowers. Understandingly, Buck has more
pressing concerns on his mind and is currently not able to read very many
of his e-mails or return phone calls. Carmen can't answer the questions,
but she has been saving a few of them in a file for him. However, I
can't guarentee when or if he will be able to respond. I may be able
to help in regards to some questions pertaining to sunflowers, as I
also did undergrad research for Dr. Theodospholus in his development of
sunflowers. Currently, my Nursery is still working with C to C Ag. and
SDSU as a research and developmental site for their sunflowers. Please
e-mail me directly your questions directly, and I will try to answer
your questions (This is is a very busy time of the year for me, but I
will try to answer as prompt as possible). If I don't have the answers, I
can try to save them for Buck and ask him the next time he passes through.

Buck is extremely close with his father and basically has put his life on
hold to be with him and his family. He started some pumpkins and said he
was going to let mother nature take care of them. he gave me four plants
to grow and I am amazed how fast they grow. If anybody knows of good
web pages that explain aspects and techniques of growing these giants,
I would appreciate them.

Sincerely,
