David,
I am glad you've had a great year, here in Southeast Wisconsin we have had
one of the worst drought on record. Consequently, the cucumber beetles have
been horrible. All my vines got a virus. I may have a couple of pumpkins
that will be 500 lbs. The only thing that I have been proud of is some
watermelons that have been over the 100 lb. mark.
I will certainly be requesting seed from you for next year. I like what you
are doing by concentrating on growing pumpkins that look like pumpkins.
Best of Luck,
Russ Stokes
Burlington, WI
