Kevin ,
Have to agree pretty sweet book. Ordered 12 for the Boonville fair and
29.95 was a hard sell........ because they just didn't know better. It
takes a seasoned grower to truly understand its value. I'll bring some
extra copies to sell at the Cal weigh-offs to generate some money for the
local Boonville weigh-off............so if interested anyone email me. But
either way-------sweet book!! EXCELLENT thanks Don!!!

Subject: Computer Viruses?
List, this morning I had 4 emails in my mail box that all said returned from
sender (me) because they had a virus in them. I never sent the emails, I did
recognize one of the addresses that I supposedly sent an email to as that of
a
fellow pumpkin grower. I reran my Norton anitvirus and it says I have no
infection. So do I have an infection that my program is not picking up or is
someone elses computer have an infection and using my address? I know that
viruses
can do that but I had no idea that the mail would be returned to me if
someone
elses computer sent the message.

Mettler (00)mother and 801.5 (97) father. My biggest pumpkin so far
this year is Zack who is 400lb now this could be because I am

pollinate with a bigger pumpkin.you can email me at esue53@hotmail.com if

We have a pumpkin with very shallow ribs. Last week it began to develop
hairline cracks along the shallow ribs.
Should we worry about this?
If so, how should we treat it?

Hello Pumpkin List,
All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! On Saturday, 9/20, we staged the 2nd Annual
Bitterroot Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off in Hamilton, MT - and what an event it
was!
All aspects of this event exceeded my expectations - the weather, the crowd,
the pumpkin entries, and did I mention the pumpkin entries?
Congratulations to Len Ballek for growing a monster at 500Lbs!!!
Len grew the new Montana State Record for 2003. Will hi be able to defend
his
title next year??
Last year we staged our first event and were thrilled with 12 entries from 8
growers for an average of 109.5 lbs. This year the trucks with giant orange
fruit started lining up at 1130 and we finally were ready to weigh them at
2pm! All tolled we had 30 growers (25 1st time growers!), 34 pumpkin entries
ranging from 7lbs to 500lbs for an average weight of 162.5. Amazingly, 10
pumpkins were over 200lbs! I couldn't be more proud of our success and
growth
this year.
