No pumpkins made it to the fair this year. AS you probably already know JD's blew up and Dave Iles was unable to grow one this year. Pumpkins up here are a very challenging plant to grow. It takes a great deal of extra effort time and money to succeed. It takes some early early spring heat to get a good start so they finish in time. We just don't get it. Later Spudley
