just wanted your opinions. i have about 6 pumkins ranging from 20-35 lbs. seem to be growing 1.5 inch in diameter a day. i live in vcr bc canada and wont have to worry about frost for a long time. vine growth has slowed to nothing.my question is am i behind and do i stand a chance at a big one with present weights?? thx northcountry

define "big one" ?
if you mean 800 lbs- sorry no way
if you mean 500 lbs- probably not
if you mean 300 lbs- maybe
if you mean 200 lbs- you have a good shot
if you mean 100 lbs- yes for sure- unless something drastically bad happens.

What "qlt" is trying to say, "Don't get your hopes up!"
Growing a "big one" in the Pacific Northwest requires the
planning, money and dedication to work that very few people have!
