2006 Pumpkin Competition Information
« on: February 05, 2006, 20:58:16 »
As requested I've created a spreadsheet with all the information for the pumpkin competition from the 2006 pumpkin competition chat thread. Hopefully this will keep information in one place and prevent it from being lost in the ever growing thread. The link is here:

A4a Pumpkin Competition Growing Information

There's a column within the spreadsheet to link to photos. As members post photos I'll try to keep the links updated within the spreadsheet as well. If you can't post photos yourself please feel free to email me photos and I'll put them into the spreadsheet, pm me for an email address if you need it.

If you want information updated, changed etc please just ask here, in the chat thread or by pm and I'll make the changes. All suggestions welcome as well.

Good luck everyone and happy growing! :D

That spreadsheet is impressive Jesse. If we save the link, ie bookmark it, will that mean we can access the up to date information?

What is the best way to send information to you, it seems the thread will get cluttered if data is passed that way, and if PMs are used, it may overload your intray. Emails? Can Dan help? Come to that, does Dan want to take part? He has already won the picture competition, so while he is on a roll ...
The impossible is just a journey away ...

I've renamed the other thread "2006 pumpkin competition chat" so if we all talk about what we're doing in there then I'll update the spreadsheet linked in this thread as and when I get time. I can imagine the chat thread will get quite long over time but that's okay because all the vital information should be kept neatly on the spreadsheet in this thread. If anyone wants to email me photos if they can't post them or any other information then pm me and I'll give you my email address. I might ask Dan to make this thread a sticky so the link to the spreadsheet stays at the top of the Pumpkin 'tastic forum.

Thank you for your hard work.

The type of pumpkin we're trying to grow is jack o'lantern.
Planted on the 22nd March.
