What's a manwich clone? I made some more apple cranberry and apple maple jams this week.

Please don't be embarrassed. I don't think most people go into this contest to win something - it's more for the friendship and fun. So now that that's out there, I want to know what you fertilized your plant with. ... for next year.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER.... EMSEVERS I was thinking the same thing about not many people posting! :idunno But... please don't let that take away from your spectacular pumpkin. :ya Last year the winner didn't even come close to 80 pounds! So great job. Please PM me your address. The prize...

Well here's what I had for results... and I'll give 24 hours for a retraction if I messed up... point me to your post number if I did. There are a lot of people who haven't posted their pumpkin weight. The contest has closed, but please give us an update on your pumpkin when you get a chance...

Awesome job, CatJac. Looks like some chickens might have gotten to your pumpkin? Anyone else want to weigh in? We've got a few more hours left til the end of the contest!

It appears we only have one weigh in so far. Where is everyone? You've got 3 days to weigh in! Even if you're less than 83 pounds, weigh in!

AWESOME JOB!! Anyone else for the weigh/photo in?

Another 5 quarts of chicken stock!

I bought some last year for myself and the winner of this contest. They were approximately 10 dollars per seed. :hide ... and we all know how that turned out for me -- ZILCH!!:bun

Awesome! Dilly beans were my gateway item into canning. Did some apple butter last night that had cooked down in the slow cooker over the weekend.

Apple cranberry jam today.

I pulled out my plants a few weeks ago. I only planted one 4x4 section of the garden with them and didn't get anything out of there. I planted squash king, atlantic giant, a carolina cross watermelon and a regular rouge vif d'etampes pumpkin. The soil in there sucks. I pulled a quarter of it out...

You might! There's been some heartache here. I need a weight though! Beautiful pumpkins, by the way. I'm jealous.

I can't wait to see this!

Nice job! How is everyone else doing? I pulled my plants up on Monday. It was a wash.

Is there any yellow on your feeders? I pull the yellow covers off the traditional feeders, and it reduces wasps. You can also do 1 cup sugar to 5 cups water (more dilute than the standard 1:4) which the wasps aren't as desiring of. Only problem is the hummers are going to start their trek back...

I call it a stress reliever, too. Going to get another night of not enough sleep because I was packing things into jars. It was so worth it, though. I'll sleep good and not think about my day besides the canning. I started canning about 2 months ago, now, and I'm HOOKED. I might need an...

Yes, I did. I'm canning tomatoes in their own juice, cold pack.
