Welcome Andrea in NZ


		Hi Andrea

		Where abouts in NZ are you? I am here in South Taranaki home
of NZ's biggest ever pumpkin.

		We would be very keen to support you through the season.
Give me a call and I will be happy to put you on our mailing list of
registered growers. 

		Together we will beat the Aussies!!!!

		My seedlings are still in pots but are likely to go out
tonight. I am away at a conference for four days and they hay have outgrown
the pots by the time I get back.

		Be careful if your compost heap is too fresh. If it is all
rotted then that should be fine - but be cautious, the root systems need a
lot of room.

		Have a 'Parky' day

		John S

			Hi,

			I am new to this mailing list, and I am growing my
first pumpkins
			ever...
			Just today, the first green leaves have come up out
of the soil (in
			pots)...
			My question is, where to plant the transplant the
seedlings to ...Could
			I plant them directly into an old compost heap? -
containing a lot of
			old lawn clippings etc.  I am growing them for a
Giant Pumpking contest.

			Thanks

			     Hi everyone.  An update on my pumpkins.  I
retrieved seeds from my 405
			and got 500 good seeds.  There also had to be about
100 seeds that were
			germinated.  I would love to give these away.  If
anyone is interested in
			them email me privately.  I think they have a good
potential.  My plant was
			very resistent to wilt and disease.  Wall thickness
in my pumpkin was 6 to 7
			inches in the thickest areas.  It also had a very
fast growth rate.  For the
			first few weeks it was growing at a rate that was
slightly faster than Gary
			Burkes 1092.  A week of temps over 100 slowed it
down and caused it to
			mature early.  Its mom is the 747 Wyckoff 97 and it
was self pollinated.

			Fresno California (It is very hot here!!!)

			Subject: Re: Gold Rush Pumpkins

			Barbi & group,
			    The Gold Rush variety has the largest stem I
have seen on a field 
			pumpkin. They  average 35 pounds in my commercial
fields but had one go 103 
			pounds. The stems on a gold rush makes a howden look
like a little toothpick. 
			Tom Fox was developed by Tom Fox in New
Hampshire....an acquaintance of mine. 
			Tom fox is a mid sized pumpkin with a large stem for
its size. 75% of my 
			fields are planted with these. Gold Rush seeds go
for 50 or 60 dollars a 
			pound, compared to the run of the mill 12 dollar
field pumpkin seeds. It pays 
			to spend the extra  money and get some good seeds.
As far as rotting, they 
			should be sprayed. If they were picked very late in
the season, they may have 
			broken down due to chilling injury.

			Hello Listmates,
			I am happy to report that Dan is home from the
hospital. His burns are
			2nd and 3rd degree, but very little 3rd degree.  He
may require some
			skin grafting, but we won't know that yet until next
week.  This whole
			experience has been so very traumatic, when Dan was
airlifted to the
			hospital, I wasn't sure if he would live!  We are
certainly overwhelmed
			with the response to Dan's sister's email.  We are
also very very sorry
			that it caused problems with the list, we never
intended for that to
			happen.  Duncan, we apologize.  Thank you all for
your prayers and
			support, I cried with each email, it means so much
to us.  Please send
			responses privately to avoid losing this wonderful
list!!

			Thanks everyone.

			Hi everyone,
			I received my soil test results today.  I didn't
understand everything on the 
			test so I went to the local co-op to ask questions.
During our conversation, 
			he asked my what I all added to my garden this fall.
I told him that I added 
			manure and lots of leaves.  He frowned on the fact
that I added leaves to the 
			garden because of the bacteria that breaks down
leaves.  He stated that the 
			bacteria uses a lot of nitrogen to break down the
leaves and suggested that I 
			double my suggested amount of nitrogen to be added
to the garden.  Has anyone 
			else heard of this before?  Before I add the amount
that he suggested, I 
			wanted to hear what everyone else had to say.  Any
advice or comments would 
			greatly be appreciated!!!!!!

			     Hi everyone.  An update on my pumpkins.  I
retrieved seeds from my 405
			and got 500 good seeds.  There also had to be about
100 seeds that were
			germinated.  I would love to give these away.  If
anyone is interested in
			them email me privately.  I think they have a good
potential.  My plant was
			very resistent to wilt and disease.  Wall thickness
in my pumpkin was 6 to 7
			inches in the thickest areas.  It also had a very
fast growth rate.  For the
			first few weeks it was growing at a rate that was
slightly faster than Gary
			Burkes 1092.  A week of temps over 100 slowed it
down and caused it to
			mature early.  Its mom is the 747 Wyckoff 97 and it
was self pollinated.

leaves and manure that you
