Once you said Mackenzie, I went and checked out his box and there was a few packs of cabbage in it. I put a note to make sure your pack get some.

I don’t have any sent in to me yet that I know of. I don’t think I am expecting any either. I don’t know of anyone that is growing for seed.

I am growing the exact same as usual. With nothing to do out in the public, what a great way to keep ourselves occupied.

Good idea Simon. Do you need any pumpkin seeds?

HI Phil and Jane. Seeds arrived. Thanks for your contribution.

Will do.

Hey Mike. Your seeds arrived. Thanks for sending them.

Sounds great. I will let you know.

Cool wet spring turned into a dry summer here too. Got rid of the last of my snow on July 8. July and first half of August were very dry. Like Phil said, saved on lawn mower gas. About two weeks ago, we started to get some useful rains. People got good first cut of hay. They say the grain crops are pretty poor due to the dryness. I have a creek going through the property and it always has lots of water so amount is never a problem here. My money has to go to propane. lots of cold nights.

I made a glass one similar to the picture above this summer. Did it at a glass blowing shop in Ottawa. Pretty fun experience. It started with raw glass and lots of heat. Ended with a really cool pumpkin. Glass ones would make a great trophy.

Congrats to you all. Nice showing. Mike, can you send me all the results for keeping track for gvgo awards. aidiejeff@ntl.sympatico.ca. Thanks, jeff

Awesome. Congrats.

Ok, thanks Brad.

Do we just keep one cucumber going like the pumpkins? Should we try to grow it on the main? Should we let the plant get to a certain size before we keep one? Never done one before. My plant looks healthy, starting to grow cucs now.

thanks Phil

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

I hope someone does. Its Canada's turn to get one. I agree that it can be done outside here in ontario.

Mine can get kind of hot but usually those days are just outright hot everywhere inside and out. My sides go up four feet so i would get a lot more air movement than yours Phil. On those hot days, i put sprinklers on timers to come on every once and a while to cool it down. Your watermelons would love it though. I do worry about early disease in the greenhouse. I feel where i am, it is cool enough that i get more advantage than disadvantage with the greenhouse. I just dont get the same heat that southern ontario does. Not sure of the weather in Nova Scotia but one option could be to use it for the spring and fall and uncover it in the heat of the summer. We do this on some of our other greenhouse crops. Im sure wishing I was dealing with the heat right now. Almost thirty below again this morning.

I have roll ups on mine. It works well.

I kept mine too that was going to seed to see what happens. I was hoping for seed too. oh well.
