Re: Here is my problem
Kevin,
I figure there all good and its going to boil down to how good of a home you
give them. I did a quick glance at the top 19 official pumpkins over a 1000
even though there were multiple 1000lb fruit counted the growers years once.
And the average is 7.5-8 year estimate of soil building etc...but info was
slow back then....and now any smart grower can hit big so it doesn't mean
much?.........Rocky so glad you said what you did as now it will go the
other way.......and I am ready............you know these untamed Ags..love
our...assumptions..........lets face it there toying with us
...view from here...MB
