Greetins All, and attention Duncan,
Our last weighoff is done now and the results are in. The following is a list
of what happened in 1998....
#789 #567.5 Mombert x #627.5 Hester. 7th at The Dairy Garden.

#608 #627.5 Hester x #827 Holland. New County Fair Record.
#557 #827 Holland x #627.5 Hester. 2nd at County Fair
#528 #567.5 Mombert x #827 Holland. Split Oct 6th.
#513 #567.5 Mombert x #827 Holland. Split Aug 29th.
#475 #469 Hester x #697 Ciliberto. 13th at The Supermall.
It was still a good year even with all the heartbreak with the splitting in
August. I learned an awful lot from the excessive growth the pumpkins had
during that stretch and feel good about next year. 4 of my top 9 pumpkins
came from the two sites that I had double planted. 4 of my top 9 came from
the 2 seeds that were white. Only one pumpkin out of 3 plants came from the 2
sites that I used sifted cow poop in. 8 of the top 9 weighed at least 10%
heavy for their measurements, and the 9th was so irregular shaped that
measurements were tossed anyway, which must mean 'it' worked.
Take Care all, and I'm out to the patch to start on the 1999 season,
Brett The Pumpkinguru Hester
