Since 1993, I have been deeply involved in growing and communicating information to growers about giant pumpkins. If you had asked me thirteen years ago what I expected to be doing now, and what would interest me the most, I doubt very much that pumpkin growing, or publishing books on the subject, would have ever made a list of potential avocations. I've always been keenly interested in gardening, but never did I imagine what the simple planting of a seed would hold in store for me.

I hope you enjoy your visit here, and email me at (annedawn@comcast.net) if there is anything that you need or wish to comment on.
