2nd year - got a 454 pound bright orange last year. Scored 30th out of 31 entries at the DelVal Pumpkin Festival and Weigh in. Lost by 1,160 lbs. This year will be better.
Rototilled 3 trailers of mushroom soil with 10-10-10 and first grass cut clippings. Patch is a bit small for 3 hills, but that's all I got.
Started 7 seeds 4/22 in the method of cnrtyboy, Circleville OH, except didn't soak in peroxide for 1/2 hr (seemed risky), just wiped. Keeping soil 80-88 deg.
