CLONE REPORTS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
Here is all the reports from across the country. I did first send everyone a previous report without the Gadberry
update, and also had listed Jim Kilbert as a Washington grower rather than Pennsylvania {sorry Jim!}. The next
update will be posted mid to late August, after everyone has given me a posting. I'll be bugging everyone once it
is time to write the next one. So far, the Scherber clones are proving they just may grow a 1009 or better pumpkin.
Seems like growing experience and techniques are the primary requirements in order to be able to do this. Still a
long way to go till they are on the scales though. Good luck to everyone...

My clone took off, after no growth since the day it came besides 2 leaves it
is now 5-6 feet long. I have a pumpkin a little bigger than a cocoanut on my
big max and several AGs

The clone is in the top 4, in my 14 plant patch, so it is doing real good. I
have 3 main vines on it and 2 are over 40 inches, small for this time of
year, but all of my plants are like that do to the weather. It has healthy
12-14 inch leaves, and growing at highest rate of anythig in the patch.
Thats it for now, I'll keep you posted.
