Pumpkins

I thought it might also be fun to mention the fact that I picked up about 400 Lbs of pumpkins from my dad. He had a record crop he set a new personal record with a 70+ pounder that is sitting in front of his front door. I now have some really nice carvers that should be perfect for Halloween, one of his giants and several other large pumpkins. He also planted literally a ton of gourds. In fact his garage is full of them; I think he will have a tough time getting rid of them all. If that wasn’t enough he wants to expand his gardens next year and grow even more! It was fun though going out and picking them and then dropping some off at some of my friend’s houses around Minneapolis. It will be interesting to see what my dad grows next year.
