Ahhh it’s been a long dreary winter around here. It’s with a heavy heart that I have to announce our family lost our matriarch earlier this month. It’s a sad time to lose a parent and something we all go through. One of life’s sad lessons. Mom will be missed. She loved the garden and loved to help with my gardening activities when she could. Hell she was the reason behind the famous MOMATE tomato. Rest In Peace mom and keep an eye on me while I’m in the garden please,I will be thinking of you.

Tim’s patch isn’t the biggest but he is working hard. To date he lost the second female he pollinated but at day 14 it looks like number one is hanging in there. He only had one male flower to work with but so far so good. Good luck Tim. The 839 should give him an Orange one.

Todd had good luck with his 839 so maybe you will get the same Orange color. I gave out most of my seeds to requests and the NewYork growers club so there should be a few grown this year. I see there will be one in Poland as well. Thanks Todd for putting it on the map.

Last pics I have of Florida Tim’s 839 before she gets weighed tomorrow. Tim is chasing a State record and I posted a guess the weight contest today. He has his fingers crossed. The media has heard about the big orange globe and will be there along with a county Agriculture rep to witness the certified scale and events. Hell Donald and Melania were invited. It seems strange to be doing this in May but so it is to be growing in the Sunshine state. Good luck to Sadie the pretty lady, heres hoping that your junk in the trunk goes heavy.

Porkchop said he should load it up and drive all over the state ! I said hey Tim “ are you going to Disney World”. He said I’m having a few beers and “going Fishing”. Well done!

Oh boy I better get caught up a bit, at least for my records if nothing else. My plants had been in the, “not doing much stage” like a lot of the Northeast growers with all of the record cold nights we had this May. They definitely are turning the corner now with the warmer temps this week. These are my 2 best at the moment. The 1952 Kogut has a 3 foot main now.

His dissertation was in the population genetics and study of the American chestnut tree as they work hard for its restoration. It seems like yesterday he made Don Langevins Giant Pumpkin Book III as he helped me measure our 2001 pumpkin. Congrats Alex!! He is now off to Cornell to continue his work.

We are the MasterMaters and if all goes well the cup should be ours. I even repainted my boat to celebrate the team challenge. Bravo and I can check on Westham if we need to take a ride over there.

I see there are a few of my 839’s seeing some dirt. It will be fun to follow along as there more than a few top shelf growers giving it a run this season. Florida Tim has had some fun with the media attention he got from his 1039 and a new Florida State record. It was a beauty and grown in 67 days. He only has one male flower to pollinate and his other attempts all aborted so it was all or nothing with his golden girl. That one male produced over 700 seeds as well!

There is some good news in the patch. Yesterday Val and I were able to get some protection under the chosen fruit and managed to step thru the mud to position them. The pics are deceiving but they are looking pretty good. Although the plants are quite small and need to dry out and get moving. I had a decision on the 1952 Kogut and opted for the earlier 3 lobed set. After hearing some of the success stories with 3 lobed pumpkins I decided to go with it. It has a long shape and is going to be an Orange one.

I haven’t posted in a while so I better put something in. The tropical weather seems to have broken so maybe things will get moving. I think the saturated soil locked things up and the vine growth shut down for me. The good news is the 839 is growing well albeit a smaller plant than I hoped for. It’s around 500 pounds so for July that is ok for me. She seems to be a round lady and not much I can do about the blossom end going down. I wonder if I had the stem to high in positioning it.

I saw Dan’s thread on slicing up the monster maters. OMG how is he that far ahead of everybody else. I’m on it. I think there may be clues in this book and the secrecy that is surrounding the phenomenon.

I have one pumpkin still putting on some pounds and honestly letting the weeds get the best of me on the other plants. The 839 is getting pretty much all of my attention. Chugging along at 800 pounds now.

I’m good at 3 pound tomatoes but need to push the pedal down NOW. Had a talk with the maters and told them they had to be at least 3.5 pounds to think about saving seeds or they would soon be SAUCE. This guy took offense.

The plan is for us to hang with the phenomenal start from Bravo as we are settled into second place and a little shake and bake sets up the slingshot move from Westham to steal the cup. Westham is in !! He told Bravo to not worry, he has got this !!

I was sorry to hear Andy Wolf lost his monster pumpkin off of the 839. It was a beauty. Mine is a mini version of Andys but on a small plant with weeds taking over and less than 10 feet from the crown. My 839 is giving me all I can ask for. I’m old school and still thrilled with something measuring 4 digits.

The long gourd is something to talk about. It has 30 leaves and loves the natural trellis.

A little more time and we will see what the 839 weighs. A PB ??? Ehhh she may have to go heavy but you never know. Just hoping like a lot of growers this time of year that she makes it to the finish line. She is looking good. The pumpkins not bad either ! Good luck growers.

I’m way behind on my diary. I better get caught up for posterity. I had a request for a pumpkin to be delivered to Bethel woods for their fall festival series. I didn’t have much to offer but my Honesdale growing buddy Andy had an extra so off we went for a delivery. Who could say no to the original Woodstock site. It was a nice orange one off of one of my seeds.

What a day we had, albeit from some self inflicted truck issues on the way there but we made it under the wire to a ruckus crowd of Pumpkin enthusiasts as we pulled to the scale with the band jamming to Black Bettty ! There were some monster pumpkins already in the lineup.

Ok let the drama unfold. Mine was measuring smaller than Andys so I was weighed before him. Hmmm. Measuring in the mid 1100’s. And my pb of 1220 let’s see how close I can come. When the scale lit up we were all surprised. Wow. 1321 and a PB for me. The 839 went Heavy !!

Now for the big boys. It was awesome to catch up and chat with Tony Ciliberto. A true gentleman and legend in the hobby. I made the top 5 with Tony at my very first weigh off in 2001 and here we are back in the top 5 again. You would never meet a nicer guy ! Congrats Tony.

It was a great day even with the truck mishap. We were lucky to make it home but !
*. Front differential , seals and other damage $2000 plus.
*. Pumpkin going heavy, talking pumpkins all day with fellow growers and topping your buddy at a weighoff with a PB. PRICELESS !
