Absolutely, it will help encourage young growers to try to grow giant's tomatoes as they do not require a lot of space. Do you want me to send you a self addressed stamped envelope? Simon Southwell

The Woodbridge Fair will problably get more pumpkins entered if this spring keeps up because it's one of the later weigh-offs and it might take longer to get pumpkins to a big size. Simon Southwell PB 933 lbs. Giant Pumpkin

I just use rain water that I store in 1000 litre water containers for my plants. I don't test the water, the rainwater should be clean because I'm not near any factories. Simon Southwell

Hi Mr. Lyons, Thanks for the quick reply, It's good to know that other growers have had the same problem because I thought I did something wrong, I read through a book on "how to grow giant pumpkins the organic way" and I didn't see what the cause of it was. Sincerely Simon Southwell

Hi theresaraid, I also have 2 plants that have curled leaves (1927.5 Daletas & 1807.5 Holub) and they have been inside my Mom's house since I planted the seed. Simon Southwell

Hi Mr. Chenier, I think you forgot to attach the survey, and my Mom said please don't fold the club before I get a jacket, I'm working on it. P.S Could you create a junior division (16 and younger) and talk with the 4-H to see if some of there youth members would join if you created a junior division and if you set up a booth at some fairs with a few seeds and growing instructions. Thanks Simon Southwell

Hi Mr. Rendell, I'm soaking a 2363 Holland that I got at an auction, a 1846 Harley from your auction, the 2170 Daletas / 1927.5 Daletas / 1803 Hoelke / 1807 Holub sq / 1542 Kline / 1512 Butler / 1760 Bryson, I'll let you know in a week what happens because it usually takes 3 days to germinate a seed. Thanks Simon

Hi Mr. Rendell, Thank you for the quick response, that's cool I haven't thought of that, I'm soaking my seed tonight and planting tomorrow, because your in Nova Scotia when do you start your giant pumpkins? Thanks Simon
