Yes, I grew that pumpkin in 2007. It weighed 678 lbs and is considered a small one in the giant pumpkin growers circles....but I was very happy with it! I did a lot of work to the soil prior to planting and I got the right seed. It does take a lot of work throughout the year also (pruning...
For anyone who is interested, my brother's band from Nashville, TN is playing at the Hard Rock Cafe this Saturday in Indianapolis. I am planning on heading up!

Your tag line cracks me up! My great-grandparents were from Tangier and I have an Aunt and Uncle that live there now (Vanada). Small world this is.
I can't help you out this year unfortunately. This is my first year with these chickens...next year I should have a nice variety I will...

Well, hopefully if all goes well I'll have some in southwestern Indiana next year. I am planning on keeping 15-20 Dels, so I am sure I could hatch you some or send you some eggs next year if you are still interested in them.

I ordered some from Paul Harter (http://www.backtothefarmmo.com/) in Missouri today. He does have a minimum of 25 chicks for shipping. I also have some hatching eggs coming from joletabey in North Carolina. I understand that both of these breeders have really nice Delawares.

I only own 3 acres now anyway....there will be a day when I have more....but not yet.

I would be willing to make the long drive down to Evansville
You might consider mentioning this is in the Kentucky and Illinois conversations as well. I would think that you might get folks from Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois that would be interested....maybe even Tennessee????
Are there any standard Delaware breeders in Indiana? I am just getting started and this seems to be the breed that I am most intrigued with right now. I did order delawares from a hatchery, but I would like to try to find some breeder Delawares to get started with...most likely culling my...
I have 5 buff orpington chicks coming from purely poultry on or around March 15th along with 25 others (5 other breeds). Assuming all of them survive, I am going to have more than I need. I'd be happy to sell you a couple for what I have in them (I think it's about $3.50 a chick after...
Southwestern Indiana here....just north of Evansville. I am new "again" in the chicken world. I have had chickens in the past, but only a few in a chicken tractor and I didn't have a tremendous amount of success. I learned a lot last time and I am ready to take the plunge into a slightly...
