Recent events have prompted me to take concern of matters that have little to do with me. But they do. TRUST.

It's all we have besides our pumpkins, our pride & our knowlege. Our pumpkins have little or no cash value. If we let ourselves get burned, we cannot turn to the civil courts for restitution. We would be laughed at by the police even if it could be proven that civil or criminal laws were broken.

Our pride & knowlege cannot be stolen though many do share freely of these. But our trust can be stolen. And I believe that is why our trust is even more precious than our pumpkins.

So it is in this vein that I must thank all the good people here who have TRUSTED me with the rearing of their seeds or somehow, through the free exchange of trusted information, enriched the entire growing experience for my family & myself.

The list is as close to alphabetical order as possible since I'd hate for anyone to feel more or less valuable than you've been.

Thank You for all your help these past 6 months. If I forgot anyone (and knowing me, I probably did), please forgive me. My family & I are wishing you & all the BP growers a prosperous 2003 growing season.

Steve if i had a list you'd be on it. You've provide a lot of great knowledge to all of us who read your posts. Knowledge that, for the most part, we were lacking.
thanks

My friend you have sure helped me understand a few things into which I had no background what so ever. It is not the knowledge so much as the willingness to help another that counts. Thanks Steve. Grow us a big one this year.
