Success does include a little luck for pumpkin growers.

Randy:

The weather. The bugs. The animals. The soil. The watering. The pruning. The 
sunlight. The various and sundry diseases. The amount of fertilizer. When to 
do what. And last but not least and well worth individual mention, the 
groundhog.

 Do you know who it was that said, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try 
again?" I am thinking whoever it was had spent time growing pumpkins. 
Sometimes things just don't go the way we all want them to. It can turn out 
that way even with hard work. If you end the year without a pumpkin, you will 
end up having learned from your mistakes. That is the beauty of it all. If 
every year and every time everyone of us could grow a huge pumpkin, would we 
all be here in the pumpkin group?
