I have done it! I can’t believe it. This season was the toughest I have ever faced. Major surgery in late June on top of 15” of rain in July with splitting vines all over the place. I don’t know how I did it but I somehow managed to get this beauty to the end on my 4th attempt. This thing was grown on a tertiary and is estimated at over 300 pounds. I easily could’ve given up but nope! I knew I had to get something to the finish line and here we are. It’s not my biggest but it’s my biggest accomplishment yet in the 6 years I’ve been growing. I’m headed to the Topsfield Fair tomorrow for the 3rd consecutive year! Thank you all for your support this season! It helped drive me to the end. I’m absolutely pumped.
