Yardman, my opinion is that Atlantic Giant plants have the capacity to overcome great adversity. I have seen hail damaged plants in several grower diaries that have gone on to produce really nice pumpkins. So how big a pumpkin did your tortured plant grow ?

When yardman learns to type in english, perhaps then we would understand what he is on about?

Some guys would joke they'd run over their vine with tractors.

Joe, I read once from a credited heavy hitter, if you sing a lil Johnny Denver in speedos, you'll be guaranteed 1K.

Yard, hail has damaged plenty of plants only to come back and grow big ones like the 1810 Stevens

Dont bother with the razor blade, these things get 30ft long with many roots!

10/23/2012 4:59:18 PM
