> Some of my story, if you're interested...
> I live on the pacific coast of British Columbia Canada, and use sheep,
> chicken and turkey manure blend for composting. My garden gets full sun all
> day long, and I will likely grow 4-6 hills next year.
> Up until the spring of 2003 I had been growing "off the shelf" seed and
> always had a hard time getting close to 200 lbs. That's when I joined this
> list, and noticed everyone was talking about all these different seeds. I
> asked if I could have some. Thanks to several good folks on this list I was
> immediately sent several packs of seed, more than I could use. I passed a
> few on to friends and grew 3 pumpkins that year, all over 300lbs. This past
> summer I used the left over seeds of the previous year. I didn't give the
> pumpkins consistent care and then an incredible summer turned wet and cold.
> My largest was 294lbs
> My plan for 2005 is to break the 500lb mark. So far I've been the local
> giant pumpkin champ and jack o lantern legend and I am hoping to attain new
> heights in the coming season.
