2012 TEG Giant Pumpkin Contest - weigh in by 15 October

[SuperChemicalGirl]

That was a little to easy. Where was everyone? There's a whole bunch of people that didn't post anything. It doesn't really feel like I won anything. I don't want that to sound rude at all because I know many of you had bad luck and couldn't help it. I think I had a good dose of beginners luck. What happened to everyone else?

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER.... EMSEVERS

I was thinking the same thing about not many people posting! But... please don't let that take away from your spectacular pumpkin. Last year the winner didn't even come close to 80 pounds! So great job. Please PM me your address. The prize will be some time coming, I haven't ordered yet - gotta wait til the end of the season.

maybe they were ashamed how nice emsevers pumpkin looks! my white pumpkin is small about 7 inches, it wont put weight on my scale !

 

[Emsevers]

Well Emsevers, if you saw my tiny yard you would know I can't grow pumpkins here.

I'm sorry Mary. I don't have enough space at my house either. I'm lucky enough that my mom does and she let me use her space.

I was just curious about what happened with everyone else who entered the contest.

 

[Emsevers]

Thanks everyone. It was really fun. Maybe I should have waited to post until the 15th but I was just so excited that I actually grew something. I can't wait til next year now.

Please don't be embarrassed. I don't think most people go into this contest to win something - it's more for the friendship and fun.

So now that that's out there, I want to know what you fertilized your plant with.

... for next year.

 

[Emsevers]

When I planted it I used a bunch of manure mixed with the soil. Then I used Fox Farm's liquid fertilizer called "Grow Big". I also used some fish emulsion stuff that smells terrible. I didn't really use any fertilizer once the pumpkin set because I was afraid of using too much nitrogen.

Sorry I didn't follow up I have one of those little tiny pumpkins and one that might be a pumpkin or pumpkin cross that is under 10 pounds but I don't know it's actual weight.
