Just a little post to say sometimes we as growers don't think before we ask for seeds.Growers like Quinn Jerry Don Sherwood Daletas and other growers get bombed with phone calls bubbles in chat for seeds.Have you thought about how much time they put into putting out bubbles of seeds for us to grow.Just made me think about their time away from family and just time to rest.Guys I thank you for the trouble we all put you thru!! Sorry for the unconsideration I have shown in past.Just wanted to say what you do does not go unnoticed Thanks

BIG Thanks from Myself and the PGGC Community!!

I'd probably still be growing 300 pounders if it weren't for some of the great people here, Heavy Hitters or not.

Amen and thank you, to those that share, that will go that extra bit, and tuck something under the stamp.

I'm especially humble this year, for all the great and generous donations to the club auction, to the seedbank for the club, and to me.

If it wasn't for bubbles and those that fill them, this hobby'd be a lot different. Thanks from here!

I know a grower that actually wear a sweat band on his head and around his wrists that has a 20 person assembly line working for him, they work morning and night filling bubbles, and he sometimes doesnt see his wife untill May or June. Sometimes he doesnt even get to grow pumpkins in the spring because they took a couple weeks off at Christmas time and went to church on Sundays.
But he does work like a dog filling bubbles and hates it he told me, said he is always tired and he would just rather grow the monster pumpkins instead and skip the bubble part of it.

I think Brooks should pack and ship Don's bubbles this year. Don has more guest appearances to make and will be busy.

Yes , there are some very generous growers out here. I received several very hot seeds from growers this past winter for NOTHING in return but to grow them . Alot of work there part for sending out the bubble packs, again thanks gentlemen and ladies.

Don, if you need help with the bubbles packs just send me all your seeds. Second thought never mind I don`t have a mail box big enough.
