I was lazy about putting my 1026 Young on mill fabric. Trust me about one more ounce and it wasn't going to. It's ensconced in a luxury palatial cover shelter with the patented VentAback design in lovely blue and white (blue tarp and white PVC)

No more going past circ 36" without "Cull or Build"

aaaaugh I'm getting too old.... But. The SEASON is ON! Growin' or Blowin', I'm committed or should be.

this is about the same thing Glenn(North shore Boys) just emaied me about, he was having the same trouble, but instead of going with thw Ventabackacrack, he went with the Boogie-in-a-bag with the external soft exterior motavator design.

Lost me there, past the plumber's smile...

Unless what I think you're on about...

Tisk Brooks, go have another beer and weed some more. :)

I need to go measure that pumpkin again, and I can guess why I'm starting to hurt.

Brooks you gotta stop giving away our tricks of the trade that have been developed and shared by other growers with years of experience under their belts....

Oh, its probably an adverse effect of your bug killer, that will happen, oh yes, from dead bug to the size of a volkswagon bug, it does'nt happen very often but it happens.

You always cut off the bigger pumpkin, small ones are eaiser to handle!!

Cull it pap. It's "oversized pumpkin disease". Allowing it to grow further will only result in your other plants getting it too.

Yah , go for the better shape one , if you hang on to the small volkswagon size one , it might be to heavy in October for a crane to lift it out of the patch ... AL
