Topsfield, Ma.

It has been quiet hasn't it Bob? I can attest to a little sandbaggin' from Canada so far...LOL! Don't know of any WR's in these parts, but expecting some good ones at Topsfield, at least from some of the BP Diaries?

At what weigh-off in California do you officially measure your long gourds? Is there a junior division? Riley took a 4'2" long gourd to our county fair and has another one still growing that he'd like to take somewhere and have it measured.

Thanks Leonardo for the seed. We got it in late but it is doing well for us our first year out.

Duff:

Whenever things go quiet I always suspect the NE
and Ontario plus a certain grower in Quebec.

In Canada those guys are always quiet until the big day.

Anybody heard from Joe Jutras, just wondering?

It may be a grower in Nova Scotia.

All of this to say, I have no idea.

Whoever wins this year deserves it!
