1) to grow a giant pumpkin, preferably outside the 200 pound range. The minimal goal is 500 range, shooting for 1000 pounds.

2) Whoever said play country music to the pumpkins out in the patch as an advantage, we need to chat, that was my thinking, you read my mind.

3) Living in NY State, it's a given, not voting for Hillary..

In 2008 to see my Dad grow one over 1000lbs his first year out,

In 2008 to never again put mail in the glove box of my truck that is supose to go to the post office that day only to forget about it,thinking its already been sent out,then finding it three weeks later because you get pulled over by a cop that wants to see your registration and insurance card,lol



Sally Hunt, I hope you dont mind me bugging you about where
the heck my auction seeds have been and why they taking so long to get here!?,,,,I think the reason why I havnt gotten the seeds yet is because maybe I need to take it out of my glove box and mail you the money first? HA!! (sorry for being a pain Sally, not the first time I have done that!,LOL)
and to the 6 growers waiting on my bubbles...I found out why you havnt recieved my 2007 seeds yet, maybe because they wont grow good in a glove box of a 1993 Ford f-150
BAHAHAHA!
this is the reason why our electric and phone has been out,and some guy came and towed my truck away in the middle of the night when I was sleeping, and here the whole time I was thinking a tree must have fallen on the line or something and my truck was stolen. I guess you cant pay bills unless you send them money? hahahaha!
