Wow that is amazing! Sorry about your Bhaskaran, but you have some other
winners there I would say! Congratulations on a great year!
This year, we had a terrible growing year with big weather changes like I
have never seen. Nothing, even our normally overflowing fruit orchards, had
anything to write home about. I hope next year is better in my area!
I wish you the best of luck at weighoff, let us know how it goes!

Howdy!
This has been the best year for growing pumpkins in MN in about 20 years!
Last year we froze (in my patch) on Aug 21st! Now I just need to bring
them
to Market :-). My 770lb 486 Bhaskaran, a beautiful red/orange split(rib)
this week...so that's always disappointing!
Below is were I stand and the splits I had...started with 10 pumpkins on
10
MVs...down to 7...hope can make it to Sept 24th! Our weighoff....my last
monthly update for the season....Look for Mr. Heyne's SE MN weighoff
report,
to see how it went!
