My pumpkins got to about the size of a grapefruit then the vines just quit. I spoken to other growers at some farmers markets and they were all experiencing the same conditions. So, both tomatoes and pumpkins had bad years.

Two years running and my one plant set no fruit.All in the hill died off and the remaining one is a very large and healthy looking plant but no pumpkins. I grow mine in my septic leach field and have had a couple over the years in the 200 pound size. This size is really nothing compaired to the national record which I think is near 1200 pounds and comes from Fitchburg.Do a web search key word giant pumpkin and read about this guy and a guy in Canada who seem to grow in the 1000 pound plus size.

Good pumpkin crop in East Tennessee, Bledsoe County, Hope the rain slacks off to where they can be gotten out of the patchs by the trailer loads.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Virgo

If something is weighing on your mind it will start to affect your health, Virgo. It might make you feel tired or depressed, or it could dominate your thoughts. You know what you should do about it, of course, but it seems like too much effort or you want to pretend that it doesn't exist. Unfortunately, this escapist attitude won't make the problem go away and might even make it more tricky by the time you finally decide to tackle it.
