I am on broadband and a brand new computer and the page loads very slowly. Did you really make this website, or is it an endeavor of Jerry Rose? If it is truly yours, does your grandpa know you are using his name and photo? You could use some web-design advice; as an artist, it is rather "old school" looking....not very catchy appearance. More information needs to be given on the first page...you shouldn't have to click and wait for the page to come up in order to see what it is all about. Your mission statement sounds very much like this sites...I'd be much more cautious if I were you.

Not the 1st time he has Plagiarized this site Lisa. Notice how he uses 1370 for his email address. I respect his efforts, but do not think he has done the work yet needed.

I know clinton is a little off the beaten trail once in a while but I think hes a pretty good kid and there is nothing wrong with anyone triing to get people interested in growing pumpkins and he has been around for 2-3 years I do think he will be around for sometime. so let cut the kid some slack there are a lot of growers and future growers in his age bracket 12-18 lets not stomp there dreams. Best of luck clinton on your new site and organizion may it help the young growers gain experience, and help many.....mark

I'm with you mark, Clinton's alright. He's probably excited about what he does & wants to share it. I would rather see a kid his age doing things such as this than what I see a lot of kids doing everyday on the streets......just my 2 cents..............Paul

Plagerism is plagerism.

10/20/2004 4:29:58 PM

Clinton the first site you made was basically a plagerism of bigpumpkins, but this one looks a lot more original.

Nice job Clinton. I hope you keep working on it.
Lisa, "Plagiarism" I really don't see where he is stepping on anybodys toes. He uses his uncles name several times. Just my observation.

Clinton, I have to give you an "A" for effort. Coming back with another web site after last years calamity, it shows your dedication.

I have to give you a "C-" on originality for a web site name. Bigpumpkin1.tripod.com is definately better than Killer Pumpkins but still not original enough and too much like Bigpumpkins.com.

You definately have the drive you just need a little direction(don't get discouraged all kids need a little direction here and there.)

You might want to consider more original web site names like: "Clintons giant pumpkin page" or "The Rose Garden" featuring Dill's atlantic giant pumpkins. You get the idea.

Maybe run a contest for the new web site name and have some of your uncle's seeds as the grand prize.

Hey I like it! I think it is fantastic that someone as young as you can do this, I sure couldn't. Youd be more than welcome to use any of my pics if you want. The one with my kids on top of my very beautiful 1125 is a nice picture.

GOOD LUCK!!!

i can see with your dedication that your site will grow
and improve with time. enjoy the process and build
gradually so you do not burn out too quick.
