What a year. Thank you all so much for your support this season. This was my 6th year of growing giants and it was by far the toughest season I’ve ever faced. Everything took a turn for the worst in Late June/July starting with my surgery but I didn’t let that stop me and I did not give up! I knew I needed to get to the end with something and here I am. A 325.5 pound pumpkin on a tertiary and the 6th biggest butternut squash ever grown in the world at 65.5 pounds. I seriously couldn’t of done this without all of your support this season. I will tell you this. Never give up even if you think there is no chance at getting to the end. YOU make the decision on if you will get something to the end. It’s all about staying positive as much as you can and perseverance. I don’t plan to stop and I will be back at it in the spring growing these beasts and I already have BIG plans. Thank you all so much for your support in a tough season.
