so how are things in Ontario.......I notice this year everyone is very quiet.....well I have had a good run so far with 5 fruit on target for 1000 lbs, but its still very early yet.......have two very nice squash, headed for new personal best there if all goes well.....have a very nice 842 Eaton that I had thought was a waste of time early on because of a ribbon vine, but I pruned it and it surprised me with a rocket fruit with great shape......go figure........guess one should never give up on a weird plant.....hope everyone is doing well......

Ontario growers are doing great! I just got back from the GVGO patch tour. I can't tell you how impressed I am with some of the plants, fruits, and set-ups around. I have a lot to learn.

Have over 20 Pumpkins to 6 plants. Biggest is 390 lbs, next 150 lbs, the rest is a mystery. One plant has over 12 Pumpkins on it, and 4 of them are getting big and unbelievably fast! Good Luck!

I lost another pumpkin on Sunday. My own 926 Hunt split @ 500#. I'm now down to two pumpkins. Hopefully I can keep them together and have one for the weigh off. My wife has a couple nice watermelons.
