I'm not completely shut out yet. I have one left. I took some plastic from the ends of hoop houses to try to keep it dry in the rain predicted for tonight and tomorrow. I have always brought me best to the local weigh-off, but a few things changed. My truck was in the shop getting the brakes fixed today, and I wasn't looking forward to slipping around in mud with my repaired knee trying to load it tomorrow. We already had hotel reservations made to make a little get-away for me and Lu Ann, and having a decent pumpkin to show will help. And J&P Cycles gives a $250 prize for the biggest pumpkin grown in our home county. I have won that 3 out of the last 4 years, so it is time to let someone else have a shot at it. Let some other growers get a reward for hard work. But Jacob and I will be at the Ryan Norlin Memorial Weigh-off on Saturday with field pumpkin, watermelon, long gourds and a tiny AG entries. Sounds like we have a good shot at a new state and site record.
