Move to BC. Too cold in the winters here to get many problems and I have a great spot to grow just not enough time.

Hi Eng6900

Phil Hunt here from the GVGO. I'm sure that we can help you out with your problems. Our members, some close to you could maybe stop by once in a while to see for themselves. You can email me with any problems you have. I'll help with your soil reports, fertilizer schedule, pest control & watering. I think Eric Sundin is just around the corner in Stoney Creek. He's a GVGOer that has grown pumpkins over 1200#. I'm sure would be happy to help out as well. I look forward to hearing back from you. Email me at: gvgo@i-zoom.net & we'll exchange phone #. It's easier than trying to communicate through the computer.

Take care,

Phil

Phil thanks so much for the reply....I have been so buzy at work I havent had time to get on here....My biggest issue is with the viNE BORERS THAT hit me each and every year.Its like a rush t grow as quick as I can in a month cause I know Im going to get hit.between me and my daughter we pulled about a hundred eggs off one plant this year.I killed 4 mutha's...Its just so frustrating for me.Im really contemplating throwing in the towel......my wife says grow a regular garden...but Im so addicted to this...Ive read alot .but i must be doing something not right...ANY help for the vine borers will be appreciated........
