I'm trying to get my brother hooked on giant pumpkin growing. He lives in Colorado, and I've already hooked him up with a RMGVG membership, and some great seeds.

Going to send him a care package this month with some "stuff" for him to use this year. If you were sending a similar package to a new grower, what 3 items would you include?

Thanks for the replies everybody. I agree, Tom is a great resource!

@ cojoe - sometimes growing here in Iowa makes me feel the need for a good bottle of whiskey. I hear in Colorado you can even get a special prescription if its a particularly bad growing season. LOL :-)
