this is a pic pappy on day 20 yesterday on the 1209. got the look of loose skin and i can see qualities mostly from the 873 naylor and a little elongation from the 991 last year. i just met a new future grower who drove by and walked up as i just got done measuring harpo on the 1725 twice cuz i was a little puzzled when i did the math. 13.5 circ inches in 48 hours on the nose is sick. and after seing one of georgies backups blew, the first "s" thought has creeped into the mind. hang on kids, we are going for a ride! so i explained to the guy all the method of the madness in a half hour patch tour and he is in...i can tell. a good ole retired mexican gentleman with plenty of time on his hands who said he has always dreamed of growing a giant pumpkin. so did i in 2002 and little did i know what i was in for. lol. he had that sparkle in his eye of disbelief and i got his address and will send him some seeds this winter and he is bringing his family to the weigh off. and then when he left i smiled and thought that growing these things are one thing, but growing the love of growing these things is for me what it is all about.
