[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 5590644, member: 9066"] I'm a dismal failure in growing pumpkins but my watermelons have for the most part done well. Last season I did have some trouble with blossom end rot so I'm obviously needing something added to the soil. Many years ago I had a cluster of Bradford pears cut down and stumps ground. Starlings had roosted in those trees for years leaving behind what birds usually leave behind. Didn't realize it at the time but proceeded to plant Georgia Rattlesnakes and Black Diamonds where the trees had been and they turned out to be huge. I didn't weigh them but my poor little wife couldn't hoist one. I sure several were 50+ pounds and I also remember them being good. The last few years I've been growing Ali Babas. They've done really well and I'll regularly get some over 30 pounds...need a few seeds? [/QUOTE]
