Track Your Vegetable Measurements
This winter I spent time building a new mobile friendly web application. You can now take your phone to your vegetable patch and enter your measurements using your iPhone, Droid, or Blackberry. Once you enter your measurement for your giant pumpkin, you will instantly know the estimated weight. The best part is you can go into your house and then use your notebook/desktop and export all your measurements to an Excel spreadsheet. You can access the site to measure Giant Pumpkins, Field Pumpkins, Watermelons, Cantaloupe, long gourds, and tomatoes here:

I am looking for your feedback in regards to features you would like to see on the site. I am hoping this will be a valuable tools for all this coming growing season.
I've been growing pumpkins since I was a small boy and I've always wanted to grow a giant pumpkin! The preferred seed to use when I was little was the Big Max". I remember that I was able to grow a pumpkin over sixty pounds once. Using today's standard, that's extremely small.
I started growing the Atlantic Dill seed two years ago and ended up with a pumpkin over three hundred pounds. Since then, I've been pouring over the Internet to find the best known secrets to grow these giants. This site will provide you with the links, suggestions, and the necessary information to grow a giant pumpkin. I will also describe the process as I attempt to grow a big pumpkin in 2011.
