Re:fast track
Pumpkin master,
For years we have attempted to do that and for years we have been humbled by
the moderate longer day climates. Litterly have had our butts kicked. More
like whomped. One problem here in Calif is the rapid growth. You add water
and heat and you could be on the fast track to splits and holes. Sure we look
like SUPER STARS early on but as time marches on we end up the light weights
at the scales with great stories of how awesome everything was going till she
went down in the patch. The central valley is one of the toughest places to
grow an AG. Hell they could plant tomorrow and there vines would pass both
yours and mine by July 15...but is that really that great??..this rapid growth
matures pumpkins too fast.......you really think its that simple just mist
??............we must be looking really far into the future.............as we
only have 2 sound monsters a 977 and a 823 to our Cal name hell if Canada and
PNW didn't grow for the next 15-20 year we might match there
success............I just don't see the mecca
draw..................yet............brock
