Henry-the giant pumpkin grower

Topsfield, MA

Hi. I've recently got some money For my birthday. I've counted 200 dollars and I thought buying giant pumpkin supplies would be what I should spend it on. Any recommendations on what I could get for 200 bucks?

Thanks

I'd give Ron Wallace a buzz. He could tell you how to get the most bang for two hundred dollars.

Remember to save some money for disease and insect control.

I will second contacting Ron. As a young grower he will not send you wrong. I happen to think you would get way more than $200 of value by contacting the biggest grower in the nation.

Henry:
Get a couple small electric fans, Great in the summer to heal up wounds on the pumpkin or stem.
I think You'll have $190 left after these purcahses.

Lots of bush lite and a good cooler is my vote that means that you will have to save some for ice threw the season

At just 15 years old, I'd spend some money having fun with my friends.

I want to go big. Anything else that I would buy would probably just break. Trust me I've leaned my lesson on that. I think pumpkin supplies would be something good to spend my money on

Take your $200 and invest it with the counterfeit money people on the previous post. You could turn that $200 into $20,000!!! It's a no brainer. (p.s. don't do that Henry :))
