Lockeford North Stars: It takes a village and a fire hose!
Good afternoon, Pumpkinistas!
Have you noticed that the quality, quantity of the images and content is greatly improved this season? I have. Here's a prime example. I just received these outstanding photos and update from Kellogg Garden Products' Lockeford, CA giant pumpkin growing team and vine from Todd Slinde. Here's what's happening:
"Hi!
The entire Northern California (North Stars) team was at our Lockeford facility this week. High on the agenda was to check out the giant pumpkin progress. Attached are a couple of pictures.The pumpkin is doing great! Thank you for all your advice and expertise! You'll notice it is watered by a fire hose.
Take care,
Todd Slinde PhD"


The fire hose is pure genius!
