Wow~! That really is a huge pumpkin~! Makes the one I grew last year look like a mini. LOL

Not too much effort, just planted and watered and this was the result. I didn't weigh it, but, it took both of us to move it from the garden to the front yard :D

I imagine if we "fed" the plant we'd get a really big one. Maybe next year, I didn't even get a garden in this year.

Hi Alyce: I really love this picture! It never occurred to me to show all the "innards" coming out of the mouth! What a great idea.

Thanks Yvonne~!

That's what happens when you have teenage sons. I always let them design their own jack-o-lanterns. :D Hubby was not amused.

Kevan, I'll have to find those "monster" seeds. I think mine said they were "giant", but, can't remember. I bet it was fun watching the aldabras smashing pumpkins :D
