Re: seed order and PNW growers assoc.

Caution - my 2 cents worth ahead - brake ( hit delete) to avoid.
 
I have grown two pumpkins in excess of 800 pounds from seeds from P & P. While I think Ray needs to add some useful content to this list, at least occassionaly, rather than soley make self-ingratiating comments and/or sales pitches, I equally feel that this "P & P bashing" needs to end as, at least to me, it has become BORING.
 
ie, this tread has become about as interesting as listening to complaints about Nike golf balls because the golfer can't hit them as far as Tiger Woods hits them.
 
Ray/ P & P bashing can be fun, but not unlike good beer, too much of anything is not good for the body, or the mind.
 
While I am sure we are all greatful to Ray for helping start this list, for creating big cash weigh-offs and always taking the time to post to this list to tell us all how wonderful he is  :-)   (as well inventing the Internet I am sure)
even a Martha Stewart "good thing" needs to come to an end at some point. Being among the oldest members of this list (in both senses of the word) I Suggest this is a great spot to stop.
 
 
BTW does anyone have a handle on the in-fighting that is going on here in the Pacific NW as to control of the growers organization and weigh-offs. As I understand it the official site of the last few years competition has gone "private" and at this point no official weigh-off site exists. While for the last couple of years my pumpkins have either been too small, or not been sound, come weigh-off time I would at least be interested in knowing where my paid dues will allow me to NOT have a pumpkin on display again this year.  :-)
