lol,i remember goin to a place down in romeo,michigan that sold them huge 500-850 pound pumpkins for like $100.i was there a few years back and my kids could honestly both fit inside one (with room for 1 or 2 more kids) them things are crazy.i asked the guy if this is the way around getting your pumpkins smashed in the middle of the road and he said he's heard of kids taking sludge hammers to em =)

How AWESOME!!!!

I have never grown pumpkins, but as strange as it sounds, they've been a big part of my life..lol.

My kids had their very own pumpkin fairy. Late Sept every year, my dad would buy 3 decent sized ones (tiny compared to a 400 pounder, lol) and put them in my yard along with some of the smaller gourds and drive away. He never claimed ownership, he did it for my kids.

Last year will forever be the most special. He was dying and in pretty bad shape. How he was able to lug those things around I'll never know. He died Nov. 12th after being mostly unconscious for a week.

I sure miss my Pumpkin Fairy. But because of him, whenever I see one, I will think fond memories of my daddy.

Grow a big one just for me this year, ok.
