Re: Pumpkin pool winner?
Greg:
Think about it, Gerry Checkon's pumpkin is losing about 8 lbs
a week & one in the south still connected to vine is gaining a possible
33 lbs a day.7 X 33, 14 x 33 or 21 X 33 is a lot of lbs advantage. Let's have
one day, SOMEONE set it , for the world & the rest of us will live with it.
THEN WE HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
Same ball-game, same ball-park
Yours truly;
Bill Van
PS: I don't want people to think I am looking for personal gain, I only want
to see a fair competition, whether they are after personal best or big money
