RE: Middle aged pumpkin growers
Hi
I'm Miguel from Argentina. This is an answear for Kathie Morgan.
I DO NOT wrote "OLD grower".
I Wrote: I'm 40 (not young- not old). Not young because my eldest daughter
is nearly 15 years old, and no old because I have enough spirit to begin
with the pumpkins in a country without wheigts off and competitions. I will
grew them only for my personal satisfaction. (but I have no places where to
look for seeds, please send some to me)
Here in the south when you are forty, you are ok, plenty of life.
Miguel
