Hi Guys
Just thought I'd let you know this grower from really down South recently
harvested his first pumpkin. Weighed in at a whopping 103 lbs. Does not
sound much but just about fills the entire fridge!! Quite tasty too.
It was the winning pumpkin in our region, most other people's pumpkins
failed, collapsed or were much lighter. Reason my be bad seeds from local
growers. We'll have to import for the next season.
Good luck for the season to the Northern Hemisphere growers, you must be
glad spring has arrived at last!
Alan
