A big HELLO to Dag at Fosston. Wish you good growing this year! Hope to see you in Pilger this year. Am experimenting with humic acid and maple syrup this year, and will definately be burying the vines. Will have to sharpen up my pruning skills also. Good growing to all!

2011 patch. Grew 5 pumpkins in this jungle. Ranging from just over 200 lbs up to 650.5 lbs. Sask record is over 700 lbs. Need more light and less pumpkins to achieve better results. Also the 650.5 got away on me and split a stem in September last year. Duct tape and cloth bandage held it together till the wieghoffs! Amazingly it still put on some wieght after the bungle.

Bryson 1818.5 in the ground. Hope it dosent outgrow the pumpkin house too soon. It had some trouble adjusting to the mid day greenhouse temperatures but is doing better with fan and shade cloth.
