Just got done watching the new Land O' Giants video by Joel Holland, and it's his best video yet.The video covers alot of great topics, from Filing & Germinating seeds, planting the plants, pruning & burying vines & building green houses.Plus I even got some great seeds with my order to. Greg

Joel has always done a good job with his videos and each year has done nothing but gotten better. I think he should do a "best of the best" tape which would cover all aspects of basic pumpkin growing so that it would be something a "new grower" could look at and essentially be mentored by. That way, a new grower would really get a "kick start" and, of course, his living mentor could be there as well. The tape could be called something like "Giant Pumpkin Growing Basics, a place to start." How about it Joel??

Thanks Greg and Marv,
I actually did a "Highlights Video" which is available in addition to our 2005 edition. It includes the years 1988 -2004. It shows many important events including Don Black's 93' W.R. 884, the 94 Bax 990, The 95 Zehr 968/963, The Greer 1,006 arriving in Ca. in 96'The 97' Chris Anderson 977, etc. I had planned to do a "Special Subject" each coming year, like "seed starting" etc. and really concentrate on one aspect of growing giant pumpkins. I would love to hear what people would like to see, and let this guide my future efforts.

It's usually around this time that Joel has his new list of products and items for sale posted on this Website in the form of a PDF File. Joel, if you get to read this could you update us on when your new list will be posted.
