Let me be the first on the field pumpkin board to congratulate Mark on an amazing feat and setting the bar for all FP growers to a new standard off his own seed. Truly an amazing fruit Mark; the hard work finally paid off. And congratulation's on your nuptials this weekend. Lots to celebrate!

I heard the FP is going to be the ring bearer Saturday?

Yes, congratulations once again. It was a tough decision to take it to Malvern, but I think you played it right, given the circumstances. Last year a WR marrow at Malvern and this year a field pumpkin. Why not?

Thank you everyone, and thank you John! John you are a true legend of our hobby, and yes it was grown off my own seed but the genetic linkage came from your own hands (I'm just a stickler for growing seeds I've created myself) thank you for sharing your seeds and the guidance you have given me over the last few years which made this happen for me.
Mark.
