Hello All....
I am new to this list, I think this is my third posting. I just wanted to
share some cute stories about what a 120 AG will do. I grew 4 (120 pound)
pumpkins this year at my parents place and gave them away. I gave away some
smaller pumpkins (50-90 pounds) away also, it makes me feel nice!
I decided to keep one 120 pounder for myself, and carved it out as best I
could. It was real shapely, and dark orange. It had an elongated round shape
with medium ribbing. It was very pretty. It could of been much bigger, but I
had some rookie mistakes....but wait till next year!
Anyway my wife and displayed the pumpkin at our condo this Halloween and the
reaction was hilarious! Here are some comments and questions:
Is that a real pumpkin?
Where did you buy that thing?
You should enter that in a contest!
Oh my God, where did you get that thing?
Did that grow all year to get that size?
There were many other questions and comments and the kids were blown away. I
sort of felt like a celebrity. We had many people stop just to look at it. I
have the energy and zest to start over again. Powdery mildew killed my plants
too early this year..........I have to wait so long now.
