    I actually live in the Willamette Valley. It's really dried up in the last couple of weeks. It's been great. We are supposed to have high 70's and low 80's for the next week.

    2012 TEG Giant Pumpkin Contest - weigh in by 15 October

    I took a picture of my pumpkin plant yesterday. I'm pretty excited about it's progress because it hasn't been in the ground very long.
