My name is jeff and I failed to grow a PB off of the 2009 Wallace.

so far the pumpkin totals are crazy with a large portion tied to the 1789,2009 or seeds off of the 2009 and 1789-selfed sibbed, crossed. And we haven't seen Ohio or California yet.

22 @ 1500-1600
26 @ 1600-1700
11 @ 1700-1800
4 @ 1900-2000
2 @ 2000+

Make moonshine, much more rewarding. And, you'll grow a giant liver that will eventually shrivel up into a raisin!

#1 Location, #2 Weather, #3 Genetics...just my humble opinion. When I see a first year growers with 1,300+ pounds, I look to see where he lives....it's always in the "Zone"......

I may have to talk to the GPC about the strawberries being added to the list!

Being outside buffalo I think I am in the zone after judging Clarence this past weekend.

I thought about moonshine, I even came up with my own bootlegger name after watching that show on history channel jeff-Tom.

I think that if we spend the time and money into growing a gaint strawberry like we do with pumpkins, in no time we could have a 2 lbs strawberry !!! We would also need a esimated weight chart for strawberries too !
