Starting a bit earlier this year to beat the heat at pollination time. Have just fired up the Boily diary. Hope it will keep you guys entertained over winter! And grow a big one while I'm at it! Goodluck to all in the big weighoffs! Ben

I'm excited for you Ben. Just read through your diary and saw that you started up for the season. Best of Luck to you.


I had a crazy wish/thought of coming down to help out in the Castlereagh patch. Talk about flying south for the winter.....
Sort of like the movie "The Endless Summer". Instead of chasing the perfect waves around the globe, it's growing pumkins and chasing the elusive 1000 pound mark. LOL

Choctaw, OK

best of luck BEn!! Go 502!!!!! I have a 650 lb est fruit up here on the 502 with the cold weather we had this summer...not bad at all. Maybe she will make 700? I will be cheering for the 494* as well.

If it wasn't for southern hemisphere growers, I think I would go insane over the winter! Have fun!

Best wishes Ben!!!

Lets watch out for early Disease this year. We Northern Hemisphere growers have loaded the jet stream with plenty of fresh Powdery Mildew spores for you this summer.

Start early or on time this year & stay in front.

Always stay in front!
