Well we got Mr. Pumpkin to the fair safe & sound. He weighed in at a very respectable 581 1/2 pounds! Everyone was in awe as we unveiled him. I was asked where I learned how to grow such a big pumpkin & I said - the pumpkin group on the internet. We will be getting more members soon I'm sure! Thanks again to everyone who helped this newbie grow "a big one":-) Sure beats my 45 pounder from last year, LOL! I'm going to make another pumpkin growing area for next year - maybe I can have 3 plants then. Very Happy Bev from N.C. P.S. - I loved your pumpkin log Tony!!!!!! I'm gonna frame it....
