I have done it! I can�t believe it. This season was the toughest I have ever faced. Major surgery in late June on top of 15� of rain in July with splitting vines all over the place. I don�t know how I did it but I somehow managed to get this beauty to the end on my 4th attempt. This thing was grown on a tertiary and is estimated at over 300 pounds. I easily could�ve given up but nope! I knew I had to get something to the finish line and here we are. It�s not my biggest but it�s my biggest accomplishment yet in the 6 years I�ve been growing. I�m headed to the Topsfield Fair tomorrow for the 3rd consecutive year! Thank you all for your support this season! It helped drive me to the end. I�m absolutely pumped.
