Maui, Hawaii

First of all thanks to eveyone who has taken the time to give me a hand when I needed one.

Well it has been crazy here in the past 2 weeks, my pumpkins, (which weighed in at 580.75 on a certified scale and a 417 estimated), have been featured on 2 television stations and in 2 newspapers. One of the television stations played the story on 4 of their brodcasts and then ran the story again another 4 times after the pumpkins were cut and weighed!!! My pumpkins which we named Bill and Merytle are now known statewide by name, its been soooo much fun having people come up to me and ask all kinds of questions about "Bill and Merytle"

Any way my computor is down right now (I am on a borrowed computor right now) so it will be a few days before I can post any pictures, hopefully by this weekend I will be up and running again.

Oh yeah I almost forgot this is a new Hawaii state record 580.75!!!!

Thanks again to everyone........Pumkin Dork

That is so cool. Your perserverance has paid off. Enjoy it and get ready to do it again next year while coaching a few others along.

Aloha everyone........I will gladly swap patches with anyone who lives near a ski resort (during the winter of course)

As far as the patch tour is concerned, anyone coming this was drop me a line and I will gladly make the time for the tour (and give you a heads up on things to do and not to do here). Hopefull with all of the press I got in the last few weeks, there will be a few more patches to visit as well? We would love to have more interest in the hobby here, maybe now that people know we can grow um here, we will get some competition!

Thanks again to everyone! Grow um Big!!!
