Since there appears to be a good number of first year growers on the site, I thought it would be interesting to compile a list of our accomplishments. I think that Carlos will blow everyone away with his success as a first year grower (way to go Carlos and wife) but am interested how the rest of us did.

My family managed a 577.5 lb and a 511 lb on the same plant which was a seed from a 700-900# Dill.

Once we have a bunch of numbers, I'll send out a follow-up posting with the results.

Just a 141.5 and a 115 UOW on the same plant. The 141.5 stopped growing in mid-August so I let the 115 grow. I just used seeds from Stokes. Now I know better.
