Team-Pumpkin is concluding another successful year. We have long searched for an appropriate logo for the Team Members everywhere and now the logo has become official. There was always �The Banner� which seems to appear everywhere the Team-Pumpkin spirit grows. Now our official logo is incorporated into a new banner thanks to our Team-Pumpkin members at the Arizona Giant Pumpkin Growers. It�s simply amazing what can be accomplished when we work together. We will continue to display them both.
This year we saw our weigh-offs at Woodstock and Durham Ct grow and improve. Additionally there are 3 more Team-Pumpkin Certified weigh-offs. A progression of Team-Pumpkin Certified, Independent Weigh-offs began with Matt�s Winter Greenhouse Weigh-off and another of his winter genetics projects. Then the Arizona Giant Pumpkin Growers set a new Arizona state record and showed the world how you can grow giant pumpkins in the desert. Most recently we saw Croatia with its first official weigh-off. Our hats off to all those who work so hard to make these possible.
The 150 square foot contest has been fun as always. It�s an interesting challenge to see who can grow the biggest pumpkin in a limited space. It removes the issue of �oh I don�t have enough space to compete growing giant pumpkins�. Everyone learns quickly that the grass isn�t always greener just because you have a bigger patch. Stay tuned for the results of this years contest at the end of the month.
