Re: Southern California Pumpkin Organization?
Ken,
Try to attend any weigh off's in your area with or without a pumpkin. Even if
you have to travel a little ways. Take the time to meet and talk to other
growers when they have some free time. Most are very friendly and will help
you any way they can.
