On March 5th of this year I posted a request for help in seed selection. I explained in my message that I had grown a 190 pound AG pumpkin in 2004 using seeds from a nursery catalog.I wanted to know if I needed to upgrade my seed selection in order to grow larger pumpkins. I received nine responses to my request, with many of you offering to give me AG seeds. I took up this offer with the Vineman and the Pumpkinguru.
Yesterday my local community held our annual pumpkin growing contest and I won that contest with a 732 pound pumpkin. My wife placed second with a 347 pound pumpkin. We also gave away a 455 pound pumpkin to some friends. What a little seed change made in our efforts to grow larger pumpkins!
I want to thank everyone that responded to my message last March and a special thank you to the Vineman and the Pumpkinguru. My wife and I now are realisticly looking at raisng a 1000 pounder in the future.
Take care.

I live not far from Vineman's patch. He has helped me and my growing partner in every way you could imagine. From seeds to borrowing equipment and everything in between. With his help we were able to grow a 726 lb. AG our first year. He the best.
Thanks Vineman
