last signs of the 2011 growing season....wow what a miserable growing year she was weather wise, but a great year of fun battling everything mother nature threw at me. i felt i adjusted well and definately learned a bunch in the process. i grew my first 1000+ pound pumpkin off one of my own seeds which was the 1156 off the 1209. also i was proud of the 2 900+ pounders grown off my seeds by tyson naylor, the 700+ threw 200 pounders by fellow illinois growers, and gene larviere who grew the 1047.5 off the 1493 shenoha that was a very pretty pumpkin too. these are things i will always take away from 2011 and when i go back and read my diary in 10 years (God willing), and i will laugh at the struggle of growing 3 plants in miserable conditions and still somehow getting 3 to scale. and eventhough Georgie Boy beat me by one pound, i had to remind him i was still number one in Illinois this year with the 1156 and snuck one onto the top ten list to boot. lol. yep, you got it, it still stings...lol. damn you Georgie Goy...look out for Fat Shaz in 2012, i am bringing it in a BIG way!!!!!
