I have 4 in mater class now two very exp. growers Highly acclaimed.The other 2 are locals new to the growing community but long time mater growers themselves.I will post members list March 1st when membership packs are shipped.Everyone wins seeds!I expect this class to be big as maters are very popular and I will promote at local garden centers & have left promotional flyers across the south through Florida & back again.I have 23 in giant pumpkin class now,2 more kin entries & I give away the 1495 stelts to a lucky person.I will also give away a hot seed from every class I offer at the same time.So if your thinking about joining nows a good time. worldwidegiantgrowers.com Watch for rising prizes!

Im looking into a way to let folks weigh at local stores for maters & lopes as they are so hard to keep long term & traveling several hrs to weigh-offs is a lot of work for a mater or lope.I need membership ideas to implement this.It has to be a solid way to prevent cheating.Maybe a video entry?exposing all sides of fruit would work on certified scales.??Worldwidegiantgrowers.com will be membership driven.so please advise I want your ideas?? post here if you like or contact me at mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com

Yes Pumpkin bell.Most are honest and wouldnt cheat anyway,But The Big Butt is Theres seems to be cheaters or ones that dont think it should be wrong to enter a split fruit.So to keep everyone happy.I think a video taken on a digital camera Or a I phone or similar device & emailed in would suffice.How do others feel about this?

Yes I just checked out Plant your owns requirements & I joined there mater contest Pete.I will be allowing maters to be weighed at local stores on certified scales with photos.If the maters are over 5 lbs I may require a video on a phone or camera exposing all sides of fruit.maybe a witness or 2.to win cash money.I will do the same with cantaloupes.I would like growers feedback on both classes.I have made this decision after talking to several good growers.The consensus seems to be to lighten the standards as these fruits are hard to keep.Please advise Mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com

5. All entries must be weighed on certified scales. G.P.C. sites, County Fairs and State Fairs are acceptable events. Must get pre-approval for any other contest sites.5A Tomatos & cantaloupes may be weighed at local markets on certified scales,with photos & tape measurements(circumference).Any record breakers should be video taped & witnessed by 2 people (not related).
I just amended rule #5 per members feedback!
