Does anyone have a certain ritual they perform before they plant their seeds? I know we all have our secrets. What about when you harvest your prize? Surely you don't just walk up to it and cut it off. I would like to hear other peoples methods/rituals. It could make a good poem! I have a knife that I made myself and is only used for picking giant pumpkins. I have only used it 3 times. It gets cleaned and wrapped and put away for next year. When I plant the seeds I drink my favorite wine out of my favorite pumpkin mug. There............I have confessed. What do you do.? Tony.
