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…
In this image there is a SVB (Squash Vine Borer) trap that is properly placed along with drip irrigation (the black lines). In addition the plant is exhibiting initial signs of water stress and has been vine buried. All of these little details can be selectively pointed out depending on the person you are talking with.
