Already you guys are talking about the seeds for 2000! Incredible. I haven't 
even cleaned out my garden or nearly gotten over celebrating the success of 
the new pumpkin queen, Gerry Checkon and you guys are turning to philosophy. 
This could be a very long winter. 

I feel the biggest mistake I made this year was pulling out the 815 Checkon. 
The vine was going the wrong direction, so I thought, and I pulled it. Wrong. 
I was looking at a secondary vine. The main vine had wandered to another area 
and was huge.

Meanwhile my LLoyd 935 did nothing. My friend's 935 developed a main vine 
which ended up being very very wide and going nowhere as was the experience 
of quite a few others, My vote goes to the Checkon 815 which produced a 
pumpkin in the same garden as Gerry's 1131 which would have possibly topped 
1200 pounds had it stayed whole. Meanwhile I am still smiling when I think of 
Gerry and her new world record.
