RE: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #398

Tad here (formerly with the Cub Scouts)   Jim Martin in Hayward,  are
you on this digest distribution.  I no longer have access to the field
at the church in Hayward where I was trying to grow pumpkins.  

Is there anything you need help with,  My neighbor is a bee keeper.  If
you need bees and have enough room, let me know. (you probably hand
pollinate) 

Have you ever tried to grow a large Zucchini for the Hayward Zucchini
festival?

Tad

Before weigh-off season ends, we ought to acknowledge the accomplishment
of
John Sach of Whittier, whose 908-pound 7th place pumpkin at Elk Grove on
10/1 is probably the record for Southern California.
Mike Brock, you keep the records - has any So Cal grower ever done
better?
Pirate, Troy, do you know?

Are you saying it was weighed on 10/01 ?? and then entered again at Elk
Grove, if I read this right, no fruit can be allowed to be competive
that
was previously entered at another weigh off. Seems to be standard rule
at
most weigh offs . Please correct me if I got this wrong. Cliff Picketts
had
the biggest pumpkin grown on PEI this year, weighed it at Windsor N.S on
10/01, was beat with the one he brought to PEI weigh off by Bill
VanSchuppen
 a week later, he made his choice & lost, he could have brought the
bigger
one ,so Bill wins all the marbels. Been there done that, please correct
me
if I'm wrong. A 908 is a great achievement, need to be praised for what
it
did where it did it, but in no way take away from the true winners at
Elk
Grove where it placed 7th. At Elk Grove it's a 7th placed fruit & if
that's
one of the offical sites in Ca then it should stand as such. The view
from
here.

 Karthie        
Thanks for rubbing it in..... I can always count on you for making my
day  
that much brighter... OH you also forgot that Mr. Sach also holds the
California 
 State record for Squash 828* i believe..... so YES he holds the
Southern, CA 
 record for Pumpkin and the State record for Squash. 
   I will just sit here and curl up with the Third largest Squash  ever
grown 
in the state of California the 789 Smith* 05 (962 Sherwood* X 703
Smith*) 
and let her know that it is OK her seeds will brake the 1000 LB mark
next year 
!! 
  Thanks for helping me look foreword to next year ... Take care  and I
wish 
ALL of you personal bests and a Wonderful off season !!

Hello, Mr Bill Van!
No, I'm sorry to have been misunderstood. 
The Elk Grove weigh-off was held on 10-1 by the rules. Mr Sach placed
7th.
His pumpkin at 908 pounds was far from the CA record, set that day by
Leonardo Urena's 1200.5 pounder.
But since California spans more degrees of latitude than any other
state, I
felt it was worth acknowledging the accomplishment of someone growing at
the
approximate latitude of Georgetown, South Carolina.
Respectfully,
Kathie
