Hi All,
I live on the edge of Phoenix, AZ (in Waddell, doubt you've heard of it). so
it's pretty hot out here in the summer. It seems that the largest pumpkins all
come from the New England area or along the East Coast anyway. I was wondering
if that's just because there's more interest out there or because the
climate's more suitable for giant pumpkins. I would think that the super long
growing season and hot climate here would be ideal for pumpkins.
Anyway, I'd like to start growing. Can anyone tell me if the Atlantic Giants
work out here just as good as in the cooler climates, or is there a better
variety? Any other advice for hot and dry weather climates? Thanks ahead for
ANY advice you've got for me! Great mailing list!
