No Place Special

Just a reminder to everyone, espcially newer growers that tonight is your chance to hob nob with TWO very accomplished growers, Dan Carlson and Marc Peterson both of Clinton Iowa. They grew the 1432 Peterson/ Carlson 04' and many other monsters in 04'. They are both great gardeners and I think Dan has been doing the AG thing for 14 yrs or so. If you seen Garden Giants New Yrs day, you seen Marc Peterson there with his long gourds! I personally know both these guys and just want to say how great they are... AWESOME guys. Trust me, there is much to learn from this AG growing team and they are always willing and excited to share their thoughts, ideas, techniques and practices. I hope you take advantage of their generosity tonight.

Heck no, I dont think Dan and Marc will tell me what they are growing until weighoff day! Dirty Dogs!!!!

KuerbisMike, I may have just had a lucky year. If I do well again this year I will be convinced I know what im doing. If not, then I was probably just lucky. DAn and Marc are proven pros, at this point I am just a one hit wonder...LOL!

Mike, I predict you will do very well again this year. Looking at your diary and the work that you put into your garden leads me to believe this. I will be watching your diary this year with a lot of interest. Jeff

Well Mike,
I think you did have a great season and a giant like you had
doesn't just happen from putting a seed in the ground and doing nothing.

You're a heavy hitter in my book at least!
I've tried three years with a pb of 595 EST.
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!
