One of the goals of Team-Pumpkin is to educate people about what it takes to grow a giant pumpkin. At the fairs, to reduce repeat questions from visitors large (4ft x 8ft) custom outdoor grade vinyl signs with gourmets were created and have proven very effective and well received. The quality photos and short descriptions help people understand some of the main points of the growing season. Also, having the large images helps to show people some key aspects of the growing phases and this is something I would recommend any group invest in that has public interaction.
This entry shows one of the signs used along with some of the story behind the image that pumpkin growers may appreciate.
Specifics of This Sign Are…
This image is important to point out the direction that the vine will start to run. The water bottles are there for absorbing the heat of the day and help reduce temperature extremes to the plant.
The seedling was one of the 1385 Jutras ‘07 seeds I have been fortunate to grow which seemed to always produce nice looking plants that were easy to mange and yielded problem free pumpkins.
