Well my season has not started off very well so far lost all my AG plants . With my new job the hours are nuts and does not give me much time at all in the patch so this might be a blessing . Going to start field pumpkins seeds so hopefully I can have something to take to the weigh off . Here is the first batch .

After all the bad luck so far this season I hope this is the right picture . You guys thought I would not have any ORANGE this year . It is not big but it is growing . Nice color and shape so far .

1218 squash continues to grow very slow BUT it is growing .

Well here is the 1317 Clementz . It is also growing slow but again it is growing . I believe that the 1317 could grow a 2000 lb orange beauty in the right hands .

The 1317 on the previous page is 35 days old . Small pumpkin for a lot of the growers on here but it is doing great . Hey Mark , you got a extra 1317 in your deep freezer ?

Well weigh off time is fastly approaching . The 1317 has slowed down to a crawl for awhile but she is real pretty . Just hoping she makes it . The squash could stay at home , heard that there may be alot of greenies coming to Altoona .

with only one week till Altoona I am hoping the 1317 holds on till then . She is one of the best overall shape size and colored pumpkins I have ever grown . No chance at a Howard Dill award but it is still sweet .
