I was looking at the PGVG auction site, and noticed that Jack Larue had 8 (!!!) pumpkins over 1000 this year, all from different plants. Which got me to thinking, who has the biggest patch?

Just a nu-B guess, but...Tom Beachy grows a ton of plants each year...I think...maybe over 100. Memory is bad so don't quote me. I also think I read somewhere that some...maybe most of them are planted and allowed to grow unattended. Lot of difference in patch size and cared for patch size? Peace, Wayne
