Farmer Jim's pumpkin is the 2nd one from the left. Came in 5th with a Dixon 384 weighing 990 lbs. Not bad for a 1st time grower...eh?
So recapping his growing method:
1) cow manure...lots!
2) corn fertilizer...can't remember the numbers or amount
3) very very little vine burying...mostly a little soil kicked over the vine with his boot.
4) a very complex black rubber soaker hose thrown on top of only some of the vines for an irrigation system.
5) the odd can of beer to help him watch it grow.
Growing pumpkins is simple ...eh?
