When one thinks about the hours of hard work, tilling, moving wheelbarrows
full of pungent materials, weeding, trenching, and the high level of
activity required just to get the AG big. Then of course moving them hither
and yon - to the weigh-off, then carving and displaying a 500 or 600 lbs
pumpkin my vote would be sport. Heck you could probably call pumpkin moving
itself a sport. Just think having the worlds strongest men competition move
a 900'er and time them 25 yards accross a rough field and hoist it into a
truck.
However if you are wealthy enough to get to grow them yet leave all the
"gardening" stuff to someone else it is a hobby. It must be nice to come
home get a cool one and look at your plant's progress and do nothing but
enjoy watching it grow bigger and bigger.
Unfortuently it does not happen for me that way, to get to watch it grow big
I gotta put the hours in.
my 2 cents - if you do the work it is a sport
