Please email me the results so I can enter their names on the Largest All-Time Pumpkins Grown in Canada list. I've taken over the list from Al Eaton. Thanks.

Hello Bendavid. We are practically neighbours! (I live handy Nackawic.) I did not grow AG's this year. Do you use cow or horse manure? I always used horse. My biggest weighed only 440 pounds (Grown 2 years ago.) Congrats on winning! I saw yours at the exhibition this year, with the exception of the one you lost. Your season is a tad earlier than ours. Whether I grow next year or not, depends on how well my strawberries (planted in my pumkin patch turn out).
