Is there an association of GP growers in Quebec. I'm in the eastern townships about 90 minutes from Montreal. Francois

Francois, I know Mike Strange is from montreal and is a member on here. I am not sure if there is an established club around there, but Mike came to our Vermont GPC weigh off last year. John

Thanks John. That's good to know. I'm three miles from the Vermont border so I'd love to attend this year. Where does it take place? Look forward to meeting you and Mike there. Francois

Our weigh off again this year will be at Sam Mazzas farm stand which is on lavigne Rd in Colchester. probably 6 miles from exit 16 on interstate 89. We have a growers club here as well and there are two Canadian growers as members. We are hoping to have an out of state/country category this year. But we are a GPC site with official scales and reporting. here is our website http://vermontgiants.tripod.com/index.html
I look forward to meeting you as well. We also have a summer BBQ and patch tour if you become a member. John

I work for a company in New York but spend most of the summer up in Quebec. I have a one acre garden there with a pumpkin patch. I typically set them out Memorial Day weekend. A big thank you for the all the info. Francois

Francois, You may want to look at your start date. even with best genetics in the world you are going to run out of time to get a monster. I would look at getting some kind of weather protection and get those seeds out by May 10th at the latest. John
