I like to plant a big patch of pumpkins every year just because I like to look at them, and I like to give them away to kids. Started several years ago and the patch keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. This year, we got the motherload !

Planted a strip about 300 yards long by 30' wide with hills of pumpkins (3 seeds each) on about a 10' x 10' grid. Mother nature smiled on us and gave us a huge crop of real nice 12" to 20" diameter beautiful pumpkins, probably have in the neighborhood of 300 or more. We've already picked two big wagon loads and given them away and have at least that many more to go. Everyone we know that has kids or grandkids is getting a few. Also took a big load to my former place of employment for all the staff.

Just makes us feel good to put a little smile on a kids face.
