The end of another growing year has come. The weather was simply miserable the entire year with cold temperatures, more than sufficient rain and very few sun hours. The results of my giant veg are so poor, I think I'll just forget this year happened. I won't even bother taking most of the stuff to the weigh-off tomorrow. The records I had going all split or rotted.
The only marrow I had left was the 99.2 Osmala which turned out to have multiple rib splits yesterday. It weighed in at 110 lbs, the smallest marrow I have had in four years.
The long gourd stopped suddenly at 109 inches, and only the long cucumbers did okay at world level.
Next year I will be getting rid of 10 giant veg classes and 1500 sq ft of garden as my health is taking a turn for the worse.
