Question for anyone:
My A/G looks like it is about done growing. The vines have all but died ( a
few leaves and vines still ok, but not much) and here's my question:
How can I keep this thing from rotting for another month? I have clearly
peaked early, and my current battle is to preserve this thing until
Holloween. I'm hoping to display it somewhere, or at least go to our local
weigh-off and see what it really weighs in at, compared to my calculations.
How do you pros keep them from turning into a mass of pumkin Jelly? I
suppose moving it indoors (the barn) would help. Keep it cool? Soft music
and candlelight? I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks,
JIM

Hey, Steve Haberman, I have a question for you. The Great Amish Pumpkin
is being fertilized with lakeweed. I just realized that I could use
lakeweed and muck from an inlet of Lake Champlain here in Vt. Have you done
any comparisons between plants grown with and without lakeweed, or is all
just compost to you? Does anyone else reading this forum use lakeweed from
a lake/pond to grow AGs? Steve M.
