A PUMPKIN STORY My neighbor Jim is a farmer. He wanted to grow a giant pumpkin. I decided that he would have more fun growing a nice orange kin rather than some ugly squashy looking thing. So, I consulted the Pumpkin Doc, Glenn Dixon, to select a seed for Jim from his very large stash. He chose a Dixon 384 that he had won a Howard Dill award with. Perfect! Because he was such a novice, I started the seed very late and he planted it on May 20th. Farmer Jim has a lot of cows. So what does he have a lot of?..."cow shit"... and that was his main source of fertilizer. He also grows corn for the cows. So, when he was fertilizing the corn he thought that some would be good for the pumpkin too.
Fast track to Aug 25th...OTT 331 ! and very beautiful! Leaves are in perfect shape. This story ain't finished yet. I think there's a lot more in this plant and will keep you posted.
Btw...why are we spending so much money?? hahaha
PS...no irrigation system!
