On behalf of the Dill Family here in Nova Scotia we are going to start off to see how many countries, provinces and states to hear from that are growing giant pumpkins today? Best to you all in 2025 with that elusive 3,000 lb. pumpkin! May be surprising?

Western Washington worms are union worms and they are currently on strike demanding rotten milk to go with their rotten coffee grounds, plus a no-steam-sterilization retirement plan... If this strike isn't resolved soon, a quarterly profit of 3k may not be possible.

Looks like I'll have to do some google searches on some of the places to learn more of their unique history and claim to fame. And yes certainly heard of the devastation in NC from the hurricane, so tragic and terrible but glad to hear your still standing! Best to everyone in 2025!

This is too cool hearing from some great long time growers thanks so much! And the tidbits about some of your villages and towns so interesting. 38 years ago Borer? So I figure 1987-1988. Didja know Nova Scotia growers produced the 3 heaviest pumpkins in the World in 1988? 627, 616 and 575. The 616 Howard Dill grew Thompson's WR 755 eventually and 575 Danny Dill grew Holland's 827 WR in 1992? My how times have changed with the progress we see today everywhere. Then in one year or so we see Ontario dominate, then Rhode Island, then New York, Ohio, Washington, California, Minnesota, UK, Belgium, and so on and so on. Truly amazing when you look back at it all.
