LIST
 
   Hello my name is Thomas Hathorn and I am new to the List and to Growing Giant Pumpkins. I have a daughter by the name of Tiffany that has been online and chatted with some of you. Tiffany is 16 and is going to be growing giant pumpins next year. I have been reading everything I can to learn what I can to help her. There are not many Pumpkin Growers around these parts let alone Giant Pumpkin Growers. Seems to be something new for a lot of people I have talked with. I have been giving Tifanny advise on what I have learned in getting her Seeds for next year and she has been really helping in getting her patch ready for next year. She says that she is going to grow the Oklahoma State Record next year. I have been thinking about getting her a membership in one of the Pumpkin Assocations.  The question I have been trying to answer is if she grows a Giant Pumpkin that has any size to it and is a member of an Association, does she have to travel a long ways off to a weigh-off? I have not found any that is close to our area and that might explain why there are not any growers that are in this part of the USA that grow Giant Pumpkins. It seems that there is a very high lack of interest in growing Giant Pumpkins around these parts because you do not see very much about weigh-offs and the sizes they produce. For my part I am going to try growing Giant Watermelons next year and see how good I can do.
    I wish to thank everyone for there time in letting me get my two cents in....<;-)
