So i'm growing 1 Pumpkin,and 1 true green SQ The reason my place, and land our for sale, I have my eye on some great pasture land that hasn't been farmed in the last 75 years, but that hasn't came to be yet.

Well season is over for me! I was at work last week at night, and a thundershower with wind strong wind gust's. Well both plants were just smoking with vigor 7' mains just perfect, (grower error) main was crossed braced, but hadn't braced sidevines yet! Just guideing them. Both plants rolled massive damage to main 1ft out from crown. Both plants pulled. No sandbagging, and no excuses for it.~ The brite side I get to start soil prep for 09. That will include Long gourds, Sq, Pumpkins. I wish all the very best 08 Grow'em big. Rog
