This year, me and my son are thinking about what to grown in the garden. I have thought about it for several years but this year we are going to grow a giant pumpkin. I wanted to grow one for the Circleville Pumpkin show but found out that I live 28 miles and the rules only allow for 21 miles.

Will we succeed this year? Probably not but it will be fun to try and get outdoors more to enjoy the fresh air not to mention exercise. Keep an eye out as I will keep updates to how it is going.

We are not that educated in the process but picked up a packet of “Dill’s Atlantic Giant”. The packet said that it is common for its seeds to consistently produce 400-500 pound fruit. I didn’t know pumpkin was a fruit?
