Reflection on the Joy of Growing AG's

This morning I got up and as ususal as soon as it was light enough, I went 
out and checked Jimmy Dean, the orange sausage. This AM he is at 114 in. in 
circum, or about 360 pounds. Exactly two weeks ago he was at 180 pounds. 
Double the weight in fourteen days! What a kick.
This is what gets me to go out and do all the things that make pumpkins grow 
each day. Where else does anything work so wonderfully? I am convinced that 
Jack and the Beanstalk was reallyabout an AG grower that went vertical.
Once again the folks I talk to are coming by for the tour. Fortunately Jimmy 
grew right outside our bedroom window, so we have a visitor's gallery. Ladies 
do not even have worry about snagging their hose on a vine.
JImmy might pop tomorrow, or stop growing (God forbid!), and I would be 
depressed for a few days, but the absolute wonder of growing this giant still 
fills me with joy.

rent the heavy duty diesel fork lift.
