I was given some seeds from the world record bushel gourd, so it looks like I have a new project for 2015. I have a garden spot that used to grow long gourds that will be the new bushel gourd home. I did a cheap soil test on this spot through Iowa State. They said the P and K were way high, but they were fairly low for growing AG's. PH was a little high, because it is real close to the road and catches a lot of limestone dust. I piled on a lot of grass clippings last fall, and they are now well composted. So I will till them in with a little sulfur and nitrogen and see what happens. I have a world record long gourd seed to grow, as well as a 2000+ and 1900+ pumpkin seed and several selfed 2009 and 1985 Ag's and some great field pumpkins to grow. Now all I need is to have the weather cooperate. After 2 drought years and a cool flood year, we are due for a good year.
