Friday, September 16 View Page Thought I should start a diary to at least show the people that gave me seeds, I tried to grow them. It was a cold wet spring. A hail storm harmed all outside plants. They were all grown on secondaries. � Friday, September 16 View Page It is hard enough to grow a large tomato, but to have it on time for a weigh off is even harder. This was on the 5.3 MacCoy. It couldn�t make it to the Gale Woods Farm weigh off. Too small anyway. � Friday, September 16 View Page This is from 5.2 Lyon. It would have gotten third at Stillwater last year. I will have to see how long they last in the refrigerator. � Sunday, September 18 View Page This is 1367New. It�s between 750 and 800 lbs. It is in my high tunnel and is my largest. Not as large or as orange as my 359Foss from last year. I couldn�t get my last 359 to germinate. This is still a nice looking pumpkin. � Sunday, September 18 View Page This is 104 Scherber. I sure like these long gourds. � Sunday, September 18 View Page If you go through the trouble of covering plants, there is a good chance it won�t freeze. If I wouldn�t have, you know we would have had frost. � Sunday, September 18 View Page This is from the 96.5 P&J Hunt rutabaga. I wonder how much is below ground. � Sunday, September 18 View Page These are from 17� Goliath corn found in the Exotic Seed Exchange package. Fun package. I hope I can find some seeds to get in it again � Sunday, September 18 View Page This is from my last year�s 1020lb. Measures about 700lbs. Maybe next year I will try a reverse and see if it will go orange. � Sunday, September 18 View Page This 625Lb is off 744.1 Offermann � Sunday, September 18 View Page My first squash. About 500lbs. The parent is 660 Fleser. � Sunday, September 18 View Page This plant was the hardest hit by hail. It weighs about 525lbs. off the 925New � Sunday, September 18 View Page I don�t think it will last much longer. � Sunday, September 18 View Page The 64.2 House wanted to produce a lot of pumpkins. The first was 60lbs. After it ripened, I picked it and tried again. They would get so big then color up. Grandkids will have nice carvers. This was a Powdery Mildew magnet. � Monday, September 19 View Page This was to be my entry at Gale Woods Farm weigh off. It has been in the fridge for 10 days. I don�t think it will hold together. � Monday, September 19 View Page My PB. I have something to try to beat next year. This was off the 5.3 MacCoy � Thursday, September 22 View Page I thought my rutabaga was large. The Hunt�s was almost three times as large. Maybe I�ll paint it orange and call it a carrot. I have seeds left , so I�ll probably try it again next year. � Thursday, November 10 View Page It looks like too much of a good thing. What do I do? �
