I haven't kept my diary up because I have been crazy busy! but I wanted to give an update to my first year growing. There have been some ups and downs with this but I cant wait until next season. I would like to take the moment and thank everyone that has helped me along the way from the chats to the emails and phone calls. I would like to thank Bart Toftness specifically for the one on one. I live in southern Maryland and growing giants here is really hard and growers are almost non existent. With that being said my first year growing I was successful in harvesting a 485lb pumpkin and had the honor of growing the largest pumpkin ever taken to the fair in my area in 70yrs. I know 485 isn't much compared to some others but I couldn't be more proud. Again thank you all for everything. The site says the goal is to promote the hobby and when I stumbled onto this site last year people have had nothing but encouraging words and I am thankful for everyone!
