I’ve been meaning to make a post. I just want to thank all of you again for your support this season! It was a great season and it will be a season to remember! 2 pumpkins over 1,000 pounds in a single year is a first for me. Plus a new personal best this year at 1184.5 pounds and that just topped everything off. It was an awesome feeling! I did struggle in the beginning but the pumpkins cooperated at the end of July and everything came together in the end. I never thought I would get a PB because of the peak gains only 25-30 pounds a day but all it takes is consistency! Don’t ever give up. In 2017-18 I had no pumpkins for 2 years because of disease but I cleared out another area and I’ve had good luck since. I’m not stopping. I will be back next year to grow an even bigger pumpkin. Thank you all.
