Does anyone have a copy of the Landry/Ailts benchmarks? Some are getting to the 10 day mark... Many new growers do not know they exist, and could use a comparison figure like these wonderful marks do.

Funny, Many people on this board will see the humor, while others will say...."Wow, it would be nice to have one going at a 300lb rate!" (me) :)

Dave, i would be happy with any size pumpkin any year.
after fighting disease,bugs,heat,humidity,T-storms,hail,hell,no-rain,rodents,rabbits,groundhogs,deer,
dear(my wife),weeds & wind all summer any pumpkin that makes it goes to the weigh-off....

this might sound funny but i took a 282.lb pumpkin to a weigh-off few years back and took 10th place! now thats funny...

so Dave hang in there and may the pumpkin gods smile on you!
