Happy New Year all!
I am John Vincent. I grow giant pumpkins in beautiful Prince Edward County on the north shore of Lake Ontario, in southern Ontario Canada. Prince Edward is known as "Thee County", hence my handle "CountyKid".
I am a certified crops adviser and have worked in the Fertilizer and crop protection industry for about 25 years. Last year I changed careers a bit and currently work for a local John Deere dealer selling agricultural machinery.
I started growing pumpkins in 2004. This will be my 9th year growing giant pumpkins.
My personal best weight in pumpkin is 1339.5 lbs, grow in 2009 in partnership with my neighbour and good friend Brian McGill. Brian and I also grew a World Record Squash in 2009, the 1236*
I am currently a representative on the GPC, on the executive of the GVGO, President of the PECPG and leader of the PEC giant Vegetable 4-H club.
I have kept a diary since I started growing in 2004, I will attempt to do a better job keeping my diary up on 2011
