Wow, nice job there... and another good season for the Island growers. I don't think it will be long before you'll need at least 1000lbs to crack the top 3-4 places... I need to find somewhere to grow and get my act together.

Ummm, Dave Pley, thanks for the congratulations, but actually it's my third year growing. Two non-competitive years in Alberta, discovered bp.com in my second year, and then moved down here to B.C. Also, not to embarass you or anything, but my name is actually Carnegie, not Carneige. Thanks again, and yah, it was a great day yesterday, thanks for organizing such a nice weigh-off! And Jake van Kooten was definitely a big help with his lifting ring, special regards goes to all the work he did.
