NEW - Bushel Gourd - NEW

Beitrag von damario »

Das ist die original Stellungnahme der Gpc
würde auch auf BP gepostet

Hello fellow growers, during the last couple of years there has been an upsurge in popularity with bushel gourds. Many growing clubs have had discussions, articles in newsletters, and have been passing out seeds to their memberships. Because of this interest the GPC would like to have a trial year this season. For this year bushel gourds will be allowed to be entered in the Master Gardener competition. It will be the seventh category and it will now be 5 of 7 to qualify instead of 5 of 6. This will help more growers qualify for this highly competitive contest. Bushel gourds are widely adaptable and can do well in many growing climates. We know it is a little late in doing this but really there is no perfect time to do this with growers competing all over the world. Should Doug English's world record of 279.5 pounds be beaten, a plaque and $250 prize will be awarded. If the interest continues to rise then they will become an official category next year. The rules for heavy gourds will be posted on the GPC website shortly. Good luck to everyone this season!

LG
Mario

Das Probejahr scheint gelungen und überzeugt zu haben!Nun offizielle Kategorie!

Due to the great interest and encouraging turnout at many contests throughout the growing world this past season, the GPC has decided to include bushel gourds as an official category. First place ribbons will be sent to weigh off sites as part of the prize packs. Top three in the world will be recognized at next years seminar in Green Bay. If a new world record is broken a plaque will be presented. There were several contenders for the record this year and I'm sure many growers are chomping at the bit to break it. There will be a bushel gourd presentation as part of the agenda at this years seminar in lovely Portland Oregon, another great reason to attend. Networking with other growers and sharing of great seeds will benefit all growers attending. And best of all, new friendships can and are forged at these great events.
Good luck to our grower friends in the Southern Hemisphere who are currently in their growing season!
