    My dear friends, This pumpkin was grown from the seed of another pumpkin. There was no artificial fertilizer. All natural. This a high breed pumpkin. Let’s not assume all things big are artificial.

    Well, Well, Well!!!!!!!!!You need the Farmer of the Year Award for this. 58 pounds??? I need some of these seeds to try in my backyard man. It is really good to see people who work full time take time to do wonderful things like this in their spare time. Dominica would be a much better place if we all spent less time just talking, texting and minding others business. It is time we spend more time making our lives and others better. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We doing good things in DA you know. How about an annual produce contest? I am sure that would encourage farmers/growers and attract young people to agriculture.

    Yes man have a produce contest. the biggest pumpkin, greenest celery, biggest and brightest carrots etc. It can work if properly organized.

    In the meantime lets have some pumpkin soup :-D

    ***THE REAL THING OR NOT***

    Is this Pumpkin the “real thing”… or is it the artificial kind [the GMO types]?

    If it is natural then that’s incredible…..

    but if it was grown because of genetically modified seeds then I am not surprise!!

    -Thanks

      Totally Agree with your thoughts,,,

      Has anyone wondered why does more and more inhabitants on Dominica being diagnosed with all sorts of Cancers,,,

      Please take notice to all these young folks who have been diagnosed and are being treaded for cancer, and not forgetting the ones who have already passed,,,

      Take a trip to Carib reserve and ask the elders about this allyou need to wake up and stop feeling the hype from these entertaining concepts,,,

      No Pumpin needs to be this big,,,

      One way Marn have tested Genetically Modified Fruits is by planting the seeds from the fruit after consumption, the plant with grow, flower but will not bear any fruits,,,

      When allyou Cut that Pumpkin open, take some seeds from it plant it and see what happens,,,

    June 24, 2013
